Iceland, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Ukraine, Hungary, Mexico, Argentina, Israel, India?
The result of these kinds of policies is brain drain. The people you are trying to ban the actions of are both some of the most driven and outspoken in the world, and also some of the most economically desirable in the world. If you prevent them from investigating their pet projects in their homeland, they will simply go and do it in another country, because it's not an obstacle for them. There's a tonne of countries out there that would gladly roll out the red carpet for a tech exodus from the former commonwealth states.

- adventured 11y agoYou think the governments of Ukraine, Mexico, Hungary, and Argentina ask nicely when it comes to this? Hungary is a borderline dictatorship. Ukraine is a war-torn mess, and then some. Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries, with little to no history of respecting individual rights. Argentina just nearly became a failed state on par with Venezuela (the verdict is not yet in on whether they've avoided that outcome). Half of that list is terrible and entirely unrealistic. Silicon Valley developers are not going to Hungary and Mexico.
