11 days agoNever mind their good, it is their services that we got get off. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. Apple is both goods and services. For years digital rights people have been shouting about US tech monopolies, but now…
Think about, what of DNS, name registration, IP address blocks, MAC address blocks? The controlling “international” bodies are all American.
I said this to a few people and you can suddenly see the realization that their entire digital life is completely dependent on America and is now being called in question. It should of been before because of anti-trust, not following local regs, or taxes. But it was inconvenient.
Don’t know how far it can goes. IP blocks, MAC address blocks, DNS, Root Auths? There is basic stuff that is meant to be international, but is unduly American. America going to break the internet trying to use it for dominance? If you don’t want responsibility, or act responsible, you lose the power that responsible gave. If American fucks this position up, they will never have it again.
