3. Migrate DNS, web serving and other critical services to non-US based servers.
4. Migrate yourself to a non-US controlled country.
I’m sorry for US sites and users. Your government is hell-bent on turning the internet into a read-only device like TV, easily regulated and controlled. The population will be required to sit quietly and keep their eyes glued on the screen so they don’t miss the ads, with any infringers deemed terrorists and pedophiles and thus deserving of summary punishment by DHS squads.
Hopefully the internet will route around the damaged segment, and the rest of us can continue to enjoy the amazing interactivity it has brought our society.”

Scaring tech start-ups away from America is the headline. What will we do now that our last innovative industry is scared to do business here?

More interesting point: we’re turning the internet into the real world (rather than the other way around).

The printing press “made” the world over in it’s image: ordered, cataloged, standardized, backed by authority can be questioned and investigated ( for example, printed text creates uniform French language that allows people across France to speak a common language of discontent leading to the revolution)

Betamax/cassette/vhs resulted in a sort of creator’s tax on blank media (effectively the mass media mafia extracting tribute from VHS factories). Napster turned into an online music store: here corporations made an attempt to adapt to this new marketplace (after decimating the competition).
