Thanks for fighting this.
I wonder how much longer the internet will manage to hold out. Governments will continue trying to impose their laws on it, causing the international network to degenerate to numerous national networks with heavy filtering at the borders. It's really sad to watch...
It's hard to monger WWIII when people from all over the world talk to each other and know for a fact that it's not the guy to this or that side of a border who's the enemy, but their own governments are (working to the same squid endgame).

On the plus side the internet is designed to be quite hard to block at the borders and you can still access most stuff most places with a little effort. Governments have been trying for years to block stuff and had limited results.

It isn't just governments. Cases like this are started by companies.
There is a dichotomy to this thread. One side is free internet from government grasp, but I bet that the same people are the government gib me stuff people that want the government to care for them and intervene from cradle to grave.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Fortunately what's needed is already invented, but the motivation to push 'normal' people there hasn't. In particularly decentralized techs, TOR, and other technologies are fully robust against these actions.
