The EU is just as bad.. my mic was cut of when I asked a couple of questions. Afterwards they said I couldn’t ask those kinds of question or they’ll all end up in jail.


Care to share where you were when your mic was cut and what your questions were?


At the EUIPO in Brussels & Alicante.. And the lobbying by Amazon is simply disgusting to see. The EU officials sucking up to the representatives of Amazon.


That's really depressing and I sort of wish I hadn't asked now but thank you for sharing.


The EU is a big place. Was this France or Bulgaria?


It does hurt to see Bulgaria mentioned in this context.


What post are you even replying to? Is your mic getting cut off an example of rampant corruption in the EU?


The EU, on the whole is pretty close to the US in terms of corruption, but it's not because your mic was shut off.

That's just some institution at a conference not wanting to be pestered, which is something else entirely.


What specific questions where you asking? Did it have anything to do with anyone’s race?
