Lol. I wonder what the government will do when Apple threaten to exit the UK market. Should be fun
I doubt they will. I'm hoping that considering the gravity of the situation, they will finally embrace open-source protocols like nostr, simplex etc, but I don't see this happening to be honest, there's just no money to be made with such alternatives... or maybe there is?
Most don’t know or care about the importance of open, censorship resistance protocols. People will learn an expensive lesson and we’ll be here for them.
I can’t see any government or centralised corporation embracing these technologies (except where they think they can profit) as they’re incompatible with the current trajectory of humanity.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better I fear
Open source protocols aren't immune to this. Did you forget it's the UK enabling unfounded harassment of Bitcoin developers through their legal system?
