Preston Byrne humorously reflects on a past poll which suggested that 9% of the population viewed the Black Death favorably.
He draws a parallel to the 13% floor of approval ratings for politicians in the English-speaking world, suggesting how difficult it is for these numbers to drop further. More details on the data and implications might be explored in the link included in his tweet.
Byrne’s observations on public sentiment and political approval reflect a broader concern with how regulatory and legal frameworks intersect with societal attitudes. Similar considerations arose in his assessment of how the UK Online Safety Act may be at odds with the US constitution, and in his review of Mastodon’s compliance with UK regulations and associated First Amendment implications.
