> of course, however big a problem chat control is, climate change is a much bigger issue

Not quite "of course" in my opinion. An even bigger problem than (and a major cause of) climate change is how information flows to people. Or how it does not flow. Private conversations are part of that flow, I wouldn’t take that lightly.



It's hard to rank these problems; I consider both disinformation and chat control very big issues, and it's true that disinformation might be the main cause of climate change, but stopping chat control won't guarantee that we'll limit climate change as much as possible.

If for some weird reason I was forced to choose between stopping chat control and stopping climate change, I'd sure, regrettably, have to choose the latter...
