malicious compliance?
it's the only way to maintain trust. as soon as you publicly compromise even a small part of the system the whole thing is worthless.
No, just regular keel over compliance.
Yeah, they should have taken a stand and been banned for breaking the law, that would have showed the government.
What's the alternative? Strong arm a democratically elected
even if stupid at times
government to change policy? That's a terrifying precedent.
