Now 2021 is shaping up to be one interesting year... thoughts folks?

the US is becoming a risky place to host your infra.

you can be deplatformed on a whim, as a result of petty internal ideological resistance anywhere in your supply chain. no infrastructure partner will go to bat for you, they'd rather forgo your money in favor of passing a regime's purity test

you might also be subject to sweeping legislation that allows the US govt to act against you if you are not politically aligned

if this continues, the US will be an unfavorable jurisdiction for infrastructure. its just easier to find a less charged environment where you have clarity

In 2021, western democracy will continue to be attacked from within and from the outside. Especially with the US in pandemonium, Putin and the CCP will no doubt exploit the opportunity.

Then there is the thought-policing of big tech and social media. 2021 is definitely shaping up to be a crucial year, a time when people need to wake up, get informed and defend freedom while they still have it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And my-oh-my the political leverage is colossal

I bet the US Gov. will try to block it... it will be the start of the great firewall?

I'll take that bet. The U.S. will not block it.
