theoretically if it's just web servers and apps enforcing this, then techies can move on from the web to something like gemini or gopher and adapt it to their needs.

Also, it's not like websites based in non-USA countries are going to give a shit about this law

    About that last sentence; the same crap is creeping in Europe at the very least. There was another press release about the eu commission iirc welcoming a similar decision in spirit. Just not implemented at OS level but web-side.

    Not sure or Asia and Africa are feeling about this but unfortunately USA is not alone. which in my opinion gives credits to the various theories that it’s being pushed by gafam.
