I'm not surprised, not in the slightest

Based, but imo flawed - its setting yet another precedent that governments can block access to sites they deem "incorrect". Take away their ability to make a profit, cut off their payment systems, but dont you dare try to regulate who is allowed on the internet

When business no longer values human work then maybe in spite of all the chaos it will cause, its time to let it die. Whatever the outcome the next imo ~20 years are bound to be a turbulent time.

Sooner or later the whole Ai thing will die, and at that point ill take great pleasure in watching the very companies that replaced humans, desperately try to get them back.

Ps: Whoever painted this, hopefully OP (yes painted because to me this looks like a scanned A4? watercolour), your style is wonderful and the colour choices are so good.

Just gonna say that the Tor situation in such places is actually not as bad as you say. Look at what the Tor project did in Russia when it tightened internet control: it brought new tech out of beta, implemented a couple of changes, and restored connectivity to any decently techy person. The only thing that authoritarian states have shown us is that there will always be a loophole, hell, even when that loophole is considered illegal, its still there and is still used. The only way to truly control the internet is to kill it, otherwise there will always be someone smart enough and motivated enough to beat whatever restrictions are put in place.
