While I largely agree with this post, I do want to point out that US citizens did not vote for this legislation either. (We have a representative democracy.) Specifically, the only people who actually were able to vote on this were the 413 Representatives and 99 Senators seated at the time it went up to vote. 388 Representatives voted yes, and 97 Senators, and it was signed into law by President Trump in April 2018.

People who voted in 2016, (and in some Senators' cases, 2014 and 2012, plus any special elections I don't feel like looking up now) were the ones who voted for the people who approved this.

Remember that your votes downballot matter too! And that even if you didn't vote for a particular congresscritter, if you live in their district NOW, you can absolutely contact their office to make your feelings known.

And as a semi-related aside: Apple in the EU is showing how this dual-regulations thing will function, which sucks major dirt for the US folks. EU folks now will benefit from protections that will literally not be available to US residents, despite it being easier on Apple to just NOT have two separate sets of rules.

So it goes one way and not the other: US rules will override unless the other jurisdiction has a specific carveout, regardless of which is more restrictive and which is better for the consumer. Which sucks.

ALL THAT SAID: it does suck that the major banking processors are US companies. What non-US alternatives are there? What commercial solutions are available for the non-US residents to focus on when lobbying the companies to change their behavior? (While the US residents should be pushing their congresscritters on the legislative side.)

one frustrating element of the new content bans on gumroad and patreon is that they're doing it to stay in line with their payment processors' policies, which themselves are in place to stay in line with FOSTA-SESTA.

which is a law passed in the united states, a country of which i am not a citizen and in which i do not live. i was legally prohibited from voting for or against FOSTA-SESTA, but because the platforms and payment providers i use are based there, i am expected to comply with it anyway.

and the tiktok situation shows us that any platform based outside the US can and will be either blocked from operating within it or forcibly divested from its foreign owners.

this is just another facet of american empire, by the way. it's more than bombs and guns and client states: it's that the US leverages its dominance over technology and finance to set policy for, effectively, the entire world.
