By definition, in most places, govts have a monopoly on physical violence (i.e. : they have the most guns).
So, to answer your question that starts with "What's to stop any government", the answer is : nothing.
- username90 6y agoGovernments have mostly failed to stop websites. Moving from websites to appstore apps gives governments more power. It also gives giant corporations more power. So it is a bad development if you fear giant corporations or governments.
- themacguffinman 6y agoGovernments have successfully stopped websites. The CCP has practically created their own internet, and it's obvious that the total absence of the Play Store in China hasn't changed this at all. Australia has enacted national bans on a number of piracy-related websites that their ISPs enforce. If anything, it's easier to circumvent a store ban by sideloading an APK than it is to find/setup reliable VPNs and various traffic obfuscation tools.
