@neil in general i think a country (as an function of the will of the people living there) has the right to decide what types of things are allowed in its borders.
In case of such inherently borderless things as the internet, there have to be ways to make that happen.
Either by requiring services to do certain things, or block them.
If you want to do business somwhere, you should need to follow the law there.
(Requiring actual people seems weird, but if that what they/the law want..)
If you want to do business somewhere, you should need to follow the law there.
I'm not doing business there. I'm not doing business anywhere. I'm here. My servers are here. I don't even know where there is, or how many there's there are.
I don't worry about the Taliban Government rules on modesty when I walk to the corner shop to buy a SIM and I don't worry about registering the SIM I bought from the corner shop with the Philippine Government but if I host a website on the IP address the SIM card gives me I suddenly need to start caring about foreign government rules?
Nah.
@networkstring @mavu @neil we are citizens of the world!
