I'm not sure, but Mr. Obama would be mistaken if he were to think that the internet fell under US jurisdiction.
It's a continual source of bafflement to me that US institutions so often appear unaware of their merely national authority.

The internet as we know is placed in the US, it is way more centralized than most people know. This is why we need blockchain tech on a platform other than the big fiber lines infrastructure.
How could this happen. Could websites be built inside the blocknet somehow? Web 3.0?
XC should commence developing its web 3.0 distributed content server very soon. It'll serve anything from webpages, ads, and personal files from XC nodes.
And of course any Blocknet-enabled node will be able to use this service.
Great. Is there a thread here where I can read up on xc and web 3.0 a bit more?
Yes, XC's thread is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xcxcurrency-decentralised-trustless-privacy-platform-encrypted-xchat-pos-630547
And the press release on the distributed content server is here: http://downloads.xc-official.com/images/14-08-22%20XC%20pioneers%20Web%203.0%20with%20blockchain-based%20content%20delivery.pdf
Maybe. I don't know...
That doesn't sound like a good idea though. A blockchain is not the sort of thing to store content. Imagine the bloat!
Content should be indexed in the blockchain and stored, encrypted, on the local storage accessible to multiple nodes in such a way that not even the nodes know what they're storing.
Good question, but it's not one I can answer since I'm not XC's dev and I also know nothing about Craigscoin. There are innumerable variables that could affect such a decision.
Will you ask the Craigscoin people to consider joining the Blocknet?
Hello. I am CraigsCoin dev. Please allow me a few words about content stored in blockchain. I understand that blockchain is not suppose to store large amounts of date, but it still can store small text messages and links. Basically what CraigsCoin does - it allows every user to post short advertising message that will be stored within blockchain and can be viewed via online listing service. (see example at list.craigscoin.info). The message maximum length is not that big and will not have serious impact on the blockchain (in fact normal transactions will probably still fill 90% of the blockchain volume). Basically it is CraigsList packed in Blockchain. Anybody anywhere can use open-source web service to bring up local ad board, that is fully decentralized and absolutely can not be affected by any local laws or regulations. If your site taken down - someone else will bring up other. Or site owner can modify website to show only specific ads (for example only show ads from certain category).
And the best part - the coin is 100% functional. The listing site is 100% open source and there is API that can be used by 3d party devs.
would love to see this on blocknet, PLUS the XC content delivery approach and many other, let the net grow
