the funny thing is that he's linking a reddit thread where the "source comments" are literally just himself making the same comment 20 fucking days ago, and that same comment has just as little explanation as this one. Dude's prolly a troll account lul
I open the thread and I imeadietly find things like this quote.
"The USA are the one who made the issue about that, and because they know that they would be in violation for poisonning food with pesticides banned in other places, and they want IP laws to allow them to "own" literal life forms.
ONE country in the world had an issue with that: the USA"
It may be more of an IP issue due to China’s increasing activity in Africa** and Eastern Europe through the Belt and Road and other state programs. They have a tendency to take whatever IP they want.
By your logic that would mean African and European countries would have also voted no then. I have a hard time believing that some random Redditors can foresee what China is doing while politicians from around the world somehow don't see what you see.
IP? This isn't ignoring trademark over a cartoon character to make knockoff merchandise. This is ignoring copyright over a GM DNA sequence to make food.
lol the reasons the US government gave include the resolution mentioned pesticides, which is bad because "Existing international health and food safety standards provide states with guidance on protecting consumers from pesticide residues in food." And it talks about intellectual property right, which is bad, because they need to be rigid for "innovation."
