In a complete and utter shock, the deal is almost exactly what was leaked months ago. But remember, it was wrong to come to a conclusion based on a preliminary leak.

No poo poo its 6000 pages and it was released 24 hours ago

The provisions for extending worker protections to member nations, liberalizing international trade, and extending copyright laws are extremely similar to what was leaked. ISPs are compelled to fight for the copyright protection of foreign holders. It includes the same provisions for investor-state dispute settlement. Member nations have to agree to extended patent protections for medicine, like was claimed. There is no mention of climate change provisions, or provisions agains currency manipulation. Is this not what was expected??

The only thing that was a surprise, that I've seen, was a rule that prohibits nations from inspecting the source code of software companies seeking to export their products

Guys chill out I don't think the sky is falling. I think there are good and bad things but it's ok to be critical of parts of this without being a raving lunatic

I did not physically read a 6,000 page document, I kept up with and closely followed news which discussed and addressed the positions outlined in the leak, and now I am keeping up with articles which address the full text now released. I don't think you or I should have to physically read an entire international trade document to come to conclusions on it, that's why we have a free and diverse press.


edit: I am a total idiot, glad that's settled
