Everytime I hear about some draconian internet law it’s always coming out of the UK.

I have a long-running theory that we’re the US’s testing ground for authoritarian nonsense. If they roll it out here and it doesn’t get too much resistance, it’ll show up in the US in the next 3-5 years.
I could see that being the case, though the US has been testing things in the same vein itself.
It’s Foucault’s boomerang, but the last beta before bringing it home.
India was the traditional testing ground. If she is no longer that, than US hegemony has definitely weakened.
