Dude that organised the last protest got 8 months prison. 75% of the population agrees with some of the totalitarian laws. Still a great country, but I'm looking at other places to live, Senior Engineer so it won't be hard to get sponsorship. Thinking about USA where people really understand the importance of their constitution, and the tech sector is the strongest in the world.

Appreciate the kind words about America, friend. Even with our constitution it's still be a fight. Unconstitutional laws are passed regularly here, until they're challenged in court. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they stay.
