This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “The problem with liars is they think everyone else is lying, too.”
One participant tells the magazine that they were not sure whether Morishita understood the real meaning behind the flag. Instead, the whole thing seemed to be more about his ego. “The chairman is so cool,” one employee said in an attempt to elevate the mood.

Brave takes brave stand against Google’s plan to turn websites into ad-blocker-thwarting Web Bundles
A proposed Google web specification threatens to turn websites into inscrutable digital blobs that resist content blocking and code scrutiny, according to Peter Snyder, senior privacy researcher at Brave Software.

How An Obscure Regulation Led To One Of The Most Ridiculous Details On Air-Cooled Volkswagens
It’s the same b.s. as the fake Freedom to Breathe Agency in the US, the Hugs Over Masks people (who I think are out of Canada?), and even the anti-mask movement in India who claim COVID-19 is a psy-ops operation. They’re all actively spreading disinformation, claiming they’re the smart ones who are “woke” to what’s really happening. And they’re actively endangering lives.
