Blocking an entire country sounds very stupid from the technological and moral point of view (and yes, it may make sense from the financial/time pov).
1) that doesn't make your shitty (lets be rough here) passwords & web apps secure. You didn't care for security yesterday, it's not going to come to you by blocking "china".
2) that doesn't stop anyone from proxying elsewhere
3) the more doing it, the more segmented the internet, the less it actually IS the internet. basically, you're breaking the fucking point of the internet (that justify the swearing.)
- mergy 14y agoYou're right on all accounts. But, the internet "works" on a common understanding that the various entities involved act with some form responsibility. That is NOT the case right now with China. I can beef-up security all I want, but perhaps people will get to a point when even interacting and rejecting bad connections is a waste?
