alt Hacker NewsI would prefer to live in a free country, where I can choose my services from among a couple of options. But the government you appeal to should install and execute laws to protect citizens by forcing foreign players to abide by local rulse or be forced to declare that they are not, in large red letters so no-one can say they did not know (legalese small-print does not suffice as we know).

Is there really a choice? Network effect means that the company that sells you cars also owns the road, and only allows its cars to drive on it.
What you want is the social graph, but you are forced to also use FBs shitty app to access it. These social media apps never had a single useful feature besides the graph itself.

Well if you’re in a country Trump has threatened to invade, or already invaded, having a free country might require banning these American companies.
