Another thing, I really think we should ditch the current centralized domain system. It's fine to have non-US ccTLD, but it won't last long. We're going to need full decentralization, more and more countries are jumping on the censorship wagon. It would be great also to see networks such as Tor grow and become more common use. We need to embrace these tools that give us privacy.
I agree, let me quote this excellent piece from an article I read recently:
"Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it." - Albert Einstein
To effect change we are left with a boycott in everything but name. It means that non-US Western businesses need to start using "not subject to US law" as a marketing point. We need cloud providers and software vendors that don't have a US presence, no US data centers, no US employees - no legal attack surface in that nation of any kind. Perhaps most critical of all, we need a non-American credit-card company.
If enough of us start to pull our technology purchases out of the US they will indeed sit up and take notice; money leaving the country may well be one of the only things that will ever cause them to do so.
Yes Sir. Fuck those pricks. But beware, believing that non-US Western businesses are somewhat independent from the US is delusional. All the West is part of the same "axis", and 90% of Western Govs. will do whatever daddy-US says.
The revolution has to be done at a user level.
Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of "businesses" as a general concept. I believe in agorism, still, it's a nice selling point, even for agorists, being able to claim "not subject to US law". I think it will be difficult for US to claim jurisdiction over someone who denies all US customers, blocks all US IPs, do not have any servers or domains in the US.
I find that very comfortable, after all, they do have one of the sickest justice systems on earth (imo)
