The thing is, who is going to regulate a transnational, abstract and ethereal space?

[–] Rykzon@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year ago

Well you could start by regulating the major US companies since those are the root of the issue described here. The internet as an abstract space is perfectly fine because there are enough independent providers for the required services to use or host on the internet. It's the few that abuse.
