Services which involve nothing but data, and thus still fall under the category of "data moving over borders". And, consequently, freedom of speech.
- scott_w 5y agoNo service involves “nothing but data.” This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it’s governing the rules of business transactions between two entities across borders. Stop throwing out spurious terms to try and cloud the debate.
- wyager 5y ago> No service involves “nothing but data.” May I introduce you to services such as Wikipedia.com and news.ycombinator.com?
- scott_w 5y agoNeither of those are just data. One provides information about topics of interest that you can edit, one provides a forum through you can interact with other people.
- nybble41 5y ago> information about topics of interest that you can edit Which is literally just data. > a forum through you can interact with other people Which is just a means of exchanging data. What is missing in both cases is any transportation of people or material across the border.
