all this is going to do is create a greater divide between consumers and corporations.
corps will continue to do BAU and consumers will bend over and take it.
it's a grift to force consumers to comply with corporate interests because small businesses and tech savvy consumers can't compete with the corporate overlords.
for example: in two years when your HDD dies your Plex server goes down. you'll be forced to use Netflix if you want to watch any content.
it's a very rudimentary example, but now apply that to accessible services like planned parenthood. they'll need to rely on cloud based services which will willing comply with federal regulations that prohibit the sale to organizations that support "the bad stuff" (abortions in this case).
