The gift part is lost on so many. Perhaps it was unintended to increase the potential burden of monetary cost to running services that were created and provided as hobbies or otherwise as a goodwill gesture to others. Or maybe the regulators didn't care to consider the impact on such services. Or maybe ... Regardless, thanks to regulators and data/service silos the web we once new or dreamed of is fading from reality. With just the silos to contend with such services could hitherto continue to exist with little concern for the actions of the behemoths; but now such an existence is threatened by regulatory concerns which blanket all regardless of their role and activity. Perhaps the correct action is to blackhole .EU?
