If other countries are sensible they'll create funds to contribute to the domestic development of AGPL licensed alternatives as well funds for the development of domestic data centers with the eventual goal of banning the use of American based cloud software altogether.

Maybe it's time for other countries to respond by taking the copyright off of American media and setting up their own affordable streaming sites to a global market.
