Unfortunately, I think the more strategic approach is to lobby for insane, incoherent, opaque regulation that varies wildly across jurisdictions. Then FAANG will be the only organizations large enough to handle compliance, and competitors will be shut out by the barrier to entry.
This is pretty much how most well-established industries are regulated today.
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoMaybe. Well, probably based on thousands of years experience. But ... imagine coding that shit. It's ok to have country heads who manipulate and hide the illegal moves and regulatory shifts, but what if you want your web scale architecture to just work with simple configuration - not rewrite that shot in ten or twenty countries. who has enough good web scale engineers who can fuck up a great design to meet country specific needs but still keep it running? Imagine wifi being regulated in different ways in different countries? or GSM signals. I think we are about to see a clash between the power of simple engineering and the wants of local regulations Maybe
