The real war isn’t Taiwan. It’s standards. AI, 6G, internet rules. Whoever sets them controls the future economy. The West is late and arguing ethics. #TechWar #AI #Splinternet

I'm waiting for the traditional purveyors of DDoS "services" to start offering "AI scraping" as a service.

As someone that works on routing technologies, it's things like this that will eventually start driving #splinternet partitioning of network resources - just to separate legitimate parties from the parasites.

The Internet requires voluntary coordination between engineers, operators, civil society, and governments to function. The alternative is top-down authoritarian control, which leads to a fragmented #splinternet. 4/

@david01928 @EUCommission @ranx @Em0nM4stodon also even if the courts would greenlight this #cyberfascism it would be unenforceable because not even #NorthKorea, "P.R. #China", #Russia, #USA and #UK get their #cyberfascist shite to work despite #Intranet|ting or at least #Splinternet|ting their nation.

In fact, I'd love to do some @cryptoparty / @cryptoparty / #CryptoParty again…

@itnewsbot that's a test if they can get away with their #Splinternet strategy...

Yep, and this is only the beginning of the full Splinternet invocation.

Remember, this can and will happen to any non-US service now so if you use let's say Nextcloud, Mullvad or Proton for instance, it can get banned as well if the US government makes a "national security" excuse.

Very chilling times.

This is not a win for privacy, this is a massive loss for all Americans as the country descends into the internet censorship that has plagued so many of the other unfree countries around the world. It isn't the time to act smug or superior just because that censorship happened to target an app you disliked today. They will have no problems coming for the services you do like tomorrow. #tiktok #privacy #censorship
