So, US people will not allow EU citizens onto their websites because cookie/GDPR pain, and EU websites will ban US citizens because we want small companies to still be able to build platforms without enough knowledge about building an AI police. The internet started out nice a long long time ago ;)
- harry8 7y agoI disagree. The web has been lawless since forever. Conventions have been established and reinforced by the big players to their profit. They now buy politicians like any other big, bad rent-seeker. The total lack of sensible, restrained legislation is how we got a surveillance state and a turnkey fascist police-state, Stasi-like enforcement. The lawless web never cared about that. Still doesn't. But yeah we used to "feel different" about that lawlessness. John Perry Barlow's big "world f.off and leave us" statement seems different now the NSA said sure, and bugged literally everyone because no consequences. With the assistance of google, Apple, ms because path of least resistance means what you think and you do not matter. At all. Yay lawless, huh?
