Well the problem is that USA are waging a hybrid information war against countries of EU in exactly the same manner that Russia does and Twitter is one of the tools it uses. The fact Rubio takes defensive measures by EU this personally only confirms the fact.
When Russia heavily censors Twitter, Rubio is perfectly okay with that. When the EU levies a fine against Twitter for deceptive advertising and fraudulent content because they allow marketing by fake Twitter accounts that scam Twitter consumers, Rubio goes through the roof— who calls the shots here?

It's totally fine to watch something and not care for it. It's fine to respectfully criticize and discuss. But if your blood pressure spikes and you feel anger over a poster for a show that hasn't aired a single episode, I encourage you to take a breath and reconsider what you're doing to yourself.

There are, as of this moment, 969 episodes of Star Trek. If a new one doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure there's something in the literal month-long runtime of previous series you can enjoy silently by yourself.

Yes, obviously this is aimed at new audiences. #Trekkies aren't numerous enough to support any show this expensive alone. Last showed that tried to cater to them only ( #Enterprise ) burned badly. And that was before there were dozen other amazing new sci-fi shows available to provide competition.

It stems from a eugenic idea that there is something called “alien crime” that can never be redeemed, it’s inherent to the people who commit it. It’s racist, crazy.
They truly believe this! Like when they arrest a noncitizen who committed a crime years ago and has been out of prison for a decade, they put out a press release claiming they saved the public from a serious threat, even if the person has been law-abiding for years and is a random ex-con doing well.
To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.
