This is not a solution. This is just allowing beauracrats the power to make us voluntarily erect borders in cyberspace where none are required.
Blocking entire geographic regions is the worst possible response.

- kodablah 8y ago> Blocking entire geographic regions is the worst possible response. I agree when it's only on principles (not everyone there is guilty). However, blocking entire geographic regions is entirely reasonable for small businesses unwilling to comply with those rules. I'm glad that governments haven't completely disallowed companies the freedom to choose their regions. I have no doubt this will be attempted at some point via treaty.
