There's no excuse for anybody to have maintained relations with a monster like Epstein.
It's not enough for people to step back from public life.
Every institution implicated must be held to account. Every individual must face justice.

“Tech giants are pushing for a law that would weaken our online safety and privacy. The law is still being shaped: if we act now, we could influence the outcome before decisions are locked in.”

If accountability means anything, clear red lines must be drawn.
