This demonstrates the issue with an internet designed for centralized services. Zoom is in the position of A) bending to china and not losing their business, or B) ignoring China's request and lose all of China's business.
With a properly-designed decentralized internet, this decision wouldn't even exist. Data and services wouldn't be centralized to a company's servers, and there wouldn't be a way to take down anyone's service. I really wish projects like MaidSafe and other similar ones would take off, but it's a difficult problem to tackle.
