They're going to do that anyway. Why should Canada abandon its own national sovereignty because of the actions of dictators on the other side of the world that would happen regardless?
- emiliobumachar 9y agoIt's going to be a lot harder for Google to refuse global censorship orders from countries you don't like when it's routinely taking global censorship orders from countries you like.
- Spivak 9y agoSure, but it doesn't really change anything about the power dynamics. Any international company cannot afford to refuse a court order form a country they need to do business in.
- Nomentatus 9y agoI agree, so I think there's at least room for a treaty between free countries as to what they could do to restrict internet traffic across borders, but won't. The European right to forget legislation, which I should have mentioned, makes any such agreement very tough, however, I suspect.
