It is, it's a state-level thing, and that serves as a check on companies that scale to be national or international.

Makes lobbying over 50x more complicated.

The fact that a UK publication is on about it should be a clear signal that the authors are being influenced by an international interest would like to simplify the process.

Guardian is an Anglo left-wing activist journalism org. They aren't a corporate front. They report things the captured US media avoids.
