Gorbachev's Law, also referred as Law of Soviet Union Collapse, is the idea that any attempt to Perestroika like reformism or gradually changing like on Perestroika will lead into the collapse of a government or even into the dissolution of the country itself or, in the best case, lead into a radical change in the country without collapse the country nor the government. Furthermore, the Gorbachev's Law is the idea that if someone want to gradually change their beliefs in a Perestroika like way, will eventually lead into a completely rupture of the former beliefs and get new beliefs, the term was created to reffer to several esoteric atheists who gradually reformed from full esoteric into full atheists by supporting and even sharing atheist ideas on social media, even the opposite can also happen.
"Gorbachev's Law is really common on social media as well, it's not hard to see that on left-wing politgram and even in the right-wing politgram, and even in the classic example that originated this law, esoteric people on social media becoming atheist because of atheist pression and sharing atheist content on social media."

Blogger's Law: as soon as you finally post something, glaring errors will appear.
A derivative of Murphy's Law, the Blogger's law accounts for the inevitability of everything necessary for a sensible online publication going wrong nanoseconds after publishing something on the internet. In spite of all human and machine-assisted efforts to proofread and edit, mistakes and glaring errors will happen for all to see.

Like Godwin's Law for film sets.

*On a film set, Person 1 walks by brushes against Person 2*
Person 2: Hey, don't touch me!
Person 3 (to Person 1): Are you trying to be Harvey Weinstein or something?
Person 1: Now hold on a sec...
Person 4: This sounds like a cheap, lazy example of "Louis's Law".
