I think that future (social) data-mining startups will need to address these things in order to be regulatory agnostic (on top of the general product/market fit): - solving the decentralized infrastructure: as nodes get taken offline, they can replace themselves, and service is still usable - solving payments for services to third parties that aren't directly the users: cannot rely on traditional payments infrastructure, since that is easily co-opted by regulatory bodies and be used agaisnt the developers/owners of such services since those have traditionally tied ones identity to such payment information.
