You are somehow missing the part about "you can get around it". France could block everything I do and I could circumvent it but it takes time, and would increase cost or limit some of my actions. There is zero difference between a non superpower country blocking you and a megacorps blocking you in terms of the affects on your business Edit: Additionally, how many of your points are from the viewpoint of "I"? Do you really think as a software engineer, or really just a person in general, that your experiences map to the majority of everyone else?

Everything I said was from my own viewpoint (I thought that was pretty clear). You wrote “There is very little difference in results between a nation blocking you or Google blocking you right now”, which I interpreted as an individual-targeted sentence. Since I already try to avoid Google (in fact, it’s me blocking them, except for YouTube), I tried to imagine if it blocking me would be a problem. Of course I don't think that everybody shares my view or can relate to my experience, that would be preposterous.
