  > There's another part of me that falls for a slippery slope, it could be a bad precedent to start banning foreign stuff, like we could end up having a US only internet The balkanization of the internet has been a thing for a while (e.g., China, online poker/gambling, region restrictions for streaming, etc.). I expect this to continue, and it may get to levels of “ridiculous tv show”. All that said, I think that there will be a tacit understanding that tech savvy people will almost always have work arounds, and that will be conveniently overlooked by most powers-that-be.

  > ridiculous ... something out of a tv show. "Many countries have banned or temporarily limited access to Facebook. Use of the website has also been restricted in various ways in other countries. As of July 2022, the only countries to continually ban access to the social networking site are China, Iran, North Korea, Uganda and Russia."
