Hey, I could at least observe superconductors at home!

Same way ofcom expects anyone outside UK to pay up, I guess.

Oh yes, because it’s not like Nigel Farage, Victor Orban and a bunch of other populists didn’t make use of US companies and advisors (and russian funds…) on how to best fracture societies to their end. Clearly nuking the internet would put an end to that, and all would be well.

Unironically yes. Otherwise the internet as we know it is very much over, and what we have instead is a mesh of country-nets.

I mean, what is actually “doing business” when it comes a simple web page or a forum for example? Merely existing and being reachable.

If you’re ok with this then imagine your local lemmy instance getting fined by China/Qatar/Thailand/etc for posting something breaking their laws.
