>for instance, comply with the EU's "right to be forgotten" Easy: The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. Oh, right, we're not calling this censorship yet. Funny how quick we are to put up mirrors to Tibet and Tank Man content but somehow we're on the hook to protect London businesspeople and corporations from criticism? Like Bitcoin or Bittorrent and other decentralized applications, it will not be able to follow the dictates of nation states and it will be on nation states themselves to filter appropriately. There's no one to call to remove "unwanted" content. No one to hit with fines, taxes, lawsuits, and fees. Also, there's a discussion to have in regards to EU shakedowns of US companies. These billions of dollars in fees that go straight to the EU don't seem like consumer protection to me, but fundraising. Billions of dollars in fees for "bundling media players" or "having an Android monopoly" should give any wannabe entrepreneurs pause. Its a shame that the EU is unquestionable on sites like HN and reddit. There's a lot of questionable morality here and obvious signs of corruption. So yeah, not being able to be dictated by the EU or any nation state is a feature, not a bug.
