Who likely doesn't care about MS politics. They'd have to lobby the Finnish government, who, if they did capitulate would start an awful president. So they won't as MS has 0 authority there. But, lets assume that they did, or that MS went to all of the ISPs and had them block .world. That's thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, lawyers, and paperwork. And the .world users in MS just download their config files and move to .de, .ca, or .uk. And now MS gets to repeat the entire process at three more countries who couldn't care less about their laws. The would waste unfathomable dollars and hours chasing this mouse and get nowhere. So they just won't. It's posturing for the big tech companies. Same as with porn. The big 3 or 4 will just block the state and move on, and the rest and those hosted in other countries will continue like nothing happened. The conservatives will claim they won 'for the children', nothing will really change. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago Quick question, what country do you think Lemmy World is hosted in? permalink fedilink source parent
