- vlovich123 5y agoThis is such a far departure from where I was hoping the Internet would look like growing up. Makes me sad political borders are now viewed as a feature.
- Proven 5y agoIt's a big feature for users who value freedom of speech. It's laughable that a guy from the EU doesn't get it - their freedom of speech is shit.

- rsynnott 5y agoThis is nothing to do with freedom of speech; the issue is differing laws on data privacy between the EU and US (and repeated failure of Safe Harbour and other regulatory attempts to paper over the cracks).
- nix23 5y ago> It's a big feature for users who value freedom of speech. That would be Iceland then, NOT the US.
- oblio 5y agoThe internet can't just paper over the fact that there are fundamental differences on how people do things across the world.
- 0des 5y agoThe internet was supposed to be the last free land where nerds could be able to create without worrying which part of the floor is lava.
- oblio 5y agoAnd it would have stayed that way if only nerds would have used it. Now it's used by regular people, too. And our lives are much richer because regular people use it, too. But that means that real life rules now apply.
- 0des 5y agoPeople ruin everything. Eternal whenever is upon us.

- nix23 5y agoThat has nothing todo with the internet but with US law. BTW it was always like that, want to study the human-body in the middle-ages? Go to arabia, in Europe you get burned alive.
- martin8412 5y agoBecause some American courts like to think they have jurisdiction everywhere as long as there's a US entity involved
- sabjut 5y agoThe Kim Dotcom case proves that some courts will ignore nation borders altogether.
