    The Internet is just a bunch of AS running open source protocols on commercially available infrastructure. It’s doing fine. The hosted commercial services might be fucked, but you can run your own.

    You’re using such a service right now.

      no you can’t “run your own” for very long if that means you are breaking the law and can be legally punished for not complying with laws like this :(

      Governments of the world, get the fuck out of the Internet.
