> Two years till it becomes illegal to offer something on IPv4 for the general public and not offer it on IPv6 Why? Is there any pressing need for ipv6 only co

  Because this of course: > the internet should be a network of machines that can talk to each other, and for that to happen it must be possible for owners to accept incoming connections The importance of this is quite obvious if you’re politicised enough. Stuff like Free Speech.

    From the perspective of the US that makes sense. It's legal to say practically everything but hostings will kick you out if they don't like you. But in the EU speech is restricted and hostings won't kick you out unless you say something illegal... and at that point you'll be in trouble hosting stuff using your home connection.

      Its not just that - if we want to be competitive then it should be possible for a hacker to offer a new type of idea and let the world try it out - perhaps a decentralized web, or planet scale IPFS, or something that yet only exists in the head of some 17 year old nerd. And while Europe is more restricted than the US, it is not like we are the Soviet union.
