Until you really restrict the net, it's just a matter of building new software that can't be the target of those laws by design. If you restrict the net, there's no inter-net.

The idea of a "New Internet" from the comedy series Silicon Valley seems like a more attractive and interesting idea every day.

I daydream about some kind of overlay network, without censorship and surveillance, where only people 'in the know' participate.

I liked the series, but that part seemed like they jumped on some kind of blockchain bandwagon and jumped the shark.

It's a shame, the previous seasons were kind of timeless, but it feels like they jumped onto a buzzword that backfired before it was well understood. Although I may have dropped it early and it would have backfired on them after their cryptochain is used by criminals or whatever, but IIRC it was very early Bitcoin era and the themes were something like a 51% attack by china, it was way too early to make a comment on Blockchain, they were able to do good satire on the dot com era precisely because it was already dead.
