This is correct! Researchers find that a) most people underestimate the administrative burdens of immigration, and b) when informed about these burdens become more supportive of immigration.

Ahead of tomorrow's hearing on European "censorship" of Americans under the Digital Services Act, I have a new blog post explaining why that is not a thing.

Seems relatively clear that UK officials are laying the groundwork for concessions on the UK digital services tax. The DST absolutely can't "continue to garner significant revenue" if you exempt targeted sectors or tax profits instead of revenue. Those things are the whole point of the tax.
