I've been saying this for a long time now, Chinese style censorship is coming. It's actually already here, Europe is the testbed and like many of Europes policies they'll be rolled out across the U.S and the Asia Pacific.

Case in point being the GDPR. People think it's a great idea, people assume it's to protect consumers and some provisions do, but it's nothing more than another policy designed to control both consumers and companies. It's the precursor to regulating online companies, a test.

As we have seen in the U.S, American companies voluntarily implemented GDPR compliance into their apps (especially with European users). It's a case of legislation only applicable to Europe overextending its reach to other countries and I bet they love it.

It's a scary time for the internet and freedom.
