    If Steve is a genocidal authoritarian asshole who, in the process of recommending movies, plants listening devices around your home, GPS trackers in your clothing and keyloggers on your computer while browsing through your underwear drawer and file cabinets, I don’t think he’s very good company. Steve might start by showing you Airplane! and Blazing Saddles but once you’re drawn in by the entertainment, he’ll sit you down for the Wolf Warrior movies, Amazing China and The Battle at Lake Changjin.

    Ban Steve, he can keep pushing his agenda on his own family back home. That’s still not an ideal situation but this at least is reasonably within our rights and capabilities.

      But in that case, it would be a far better option to ban anyone from placing keyloggers on your computer and GPS trackers in your clothing, because that not only stops Steve from doing it, but also Steve’s cousin Alex, and anyone else who would want to do so.
