What these “lawmakers” (jokes in a suit) don’t understand is that the internet can’t and wont be silenced, or open up with big old arms and say “yes you can have all of our information so you can use it against us” … right, good luck with that.
The implications of the internet on economic, societal, and political levels is in its infancy. Literally. Its a toddler, and the the far reaching changes that the internet will have on our lives will continually amaze, and governments can’t stop it, but they will try.
The good thing for us as webmasters is that the geo-political environment in the world isn’t conducive to over-all oppression (though there will always be isolated incidents). Without governmental unity across say 60% of the world (anyone want to handicap that?
) there will never be regulation that will shut us down. There will be speed-bumps, but ultimately this train isn’t stopping anytime soon.In conclusion, take this with a grain of salt, if you are really worried, move your server off shore and register a company in a country with a nice International Business Act that will let you operate remotely and not charge you income tax, then turn around, drop your pants and show the FTC where they can stick their tyranny.
