I don’t engage in any unlawful business. My concerns are primarily about service disruptions caused by potential trade wars or political retaliation. The U.S. appears to be moving in an increasingly authoritarian direction, and I can imagine a near future in which expressing negative opinions about certain political figures on social media could lead to serious consequences.
I'm actually seeing exactly this here in the EUSSR. For example when GB's regime tries to kill 4chan - even they have no legal standing aginst them at all. Or EUSSR's current attempts to kill Xitter (petty Napoleon already had their FR office raided recently) I wouldn't be surprised if they're attempting to force ISPs to block them by firewalls. (which would give Starlink a mega sales boost). In the longer run, the best aproach (if one can afford it) seems to be massive diversification across many different countries and self-healing distributed infrastructure.
