well, regulation is for the overall good of the election (else become taiwan-eque )

They have to follow the regulations too.
So not much issue.
And I'm not into politics.
As long as they do their stuff, all's well.

here, having a voice, is only just that, a voice
it is seldom heeded, unless of course you defame some big shot then you are in trouble

even as consumers, our voice is nothing more than a squeak in a sea of red-tape

so, making noise ain't no good, but it is like shouting at a raging sea, expecting an echo or reply
