Thank you. Yes, it's easy for some people to move countries, as they don't have a house or a job or kids or other things that tie them down. Ironically, I think it's one of the main things the US Embassy checks when foreigners are trying to get tourist visas: how much do they have tying them down to their home country so they will be unlikely to overstay their visa?
I think what happens in these situations is that people often start to organize to gain more say in the decision making process, whether that's unionizing in the workplace or political protests and/or revolutions.
What I'm wondering is what will we do, those of us who have invested so much time and energy into building our digital homes and businesses in these digital nations? Just leave? Stay and organize? Organize how?
I don't personally like the idea of organizing as a user union or something, as I find unions to often be an antagonistic response to company management. I hope that we would start to see ourselves more like digital citizens of these digital nations and organize to try to have more representation in the decision-making processes of these platforms that may govern much more of our social interaction than our analog governments do.
