Right, so the only option for "the rest of the world" is to switch to solutions that do not store any data in the US? Is that realistically feasible? How can "the rest of the world" protest against CISPA?
- lucb1e 13y agoWell put it this way: What can they do that we can't replicate? ;) Behind China's great firewall there are lots of alternatives to twitter, youtube, facebook, google (this one I know by name: Baidu), etc. So technically feasible, yes. Realistically... depends on whether developers of these clones can find something that gives them an advantage over the originals, besides privacy or legal issues. Businesses want to keep data in-house regardless, and not many consumers care enough. Having one global network for social networks has certainly advantages, but when the laws in the "home country" (for the lack of a better word, if there is any) become hostile and privacy invading... then I don't know. If I could pay to get off of all google services and have my data imported into a dutch google clone, I'd do it.
