I'm starting to be a fan of countries walling off vs the alternative. To be clear, I'm not for it. I would prefer open internet. But what's worse is countries trying to project their jurisdiction across the globe.
If you don't like that I don't comply with the laws of places where I don't live, block my site. I don't block you. You block me. I shouldn't even have a responsibility to know what your laws are to know if I should block you. It's your laws, your job.
And if a country finds it easier to block off the whole external internet, fine. That's still better than someone who I didn't elect thinking they can tell me how I must do my job. Certainly better than 152 different governments and municipalities trying to do it at the same time.
So we should make it clear. When someone in a foreign country visits your site, you are not operating in that country. The user is visiting yours.
