@lanodan @liztai @dalias Without legal action being undertaken by the government (not very reliable that), a lot of the USA is stuck having no choice other than VPSes.

A "you might be able to publish by yourself in a few decades or if you move" is far too long or impractical.

Indeed.

I'd disagree. I prefer full application of the “I write myself, edit myself, censor myself, publish myself, distribute myself, go to jail for it myself” samizdat pattern.

Illegal data should still not be interfered with by the ISPs. That is not and should not be their remit. Dumb pipes all the way.
