You'd be better off here:

than this article. Also, it's pure, distilled politics; what would it be doing here on HN? There's a whole Internet full of sites where this stuff is germane. Flagged.

What I'd like to understand is why governments in any country that isn't the US would agree to any of this stuff. I think that's the real question here.

My guess is that he posted it as it may affect the IT-industry and startups therein severely, something HN is covering.

That's been said about virtually every political story posted here.

That is indeed why I posted it as startups (and any other business) will be affected by these changes. It's sometimes useful to have a macro view of the world.
