That's already business as usual with China, but companies like Facebook have absolutely no problem with that silo as it protects them and benefits their bottom line.
But somehow, use cases that protect users, those suddenly pose major blockers.
Do you honestly think that's true? I bet they'd move mountains to remove that silo if they could.
Think? I know for a fact it's true. In fact, do you know a single company operating in China that doesn't silo away their China operations?
What makes you think they have "absolutely no problem with it"? You don't think it would be operationally simpler and more profitable to allow communication between Chinese and non-Chinese accounts?
No, not really. Companies operating in China silo their services because Chinese laws demand access to servers, and by siloing the company ensures that the Chinese regime does keep it's hands off stuff they have no business accessing.
Siloing services in China has zero to do with CCP's demands and everything to do with a company's self-interest.
CCIP demands access to servers -> companys silo to protect data from CCP
But then claim siloing has "zero to do with CCP's demands". Having trouble understanding this logic.
It's less that they don't have a problem with the silo and more that they don't have a choice.
Are you really advocating for siloing European and North American internet?
This is not to say I “want” this — what I want is for everyone in the world to be one big happy group of friends, but I don’t know how to get there from here, and silos look to me like the next thing that will happen.
