What's funny about your title is South Korean streaming companies got their government to pass protectionist laws that jacked up data fees on foreign companies and it essentially killed Twitch. So you can't even tune in on Twitch, you have to tune in on SOOP or some shit.

    The Great Firewall was one of the smartest things China has done. You can't be fully sovereign if your country's digital infrastructure relies on foreign platforms. Especially when bad actors, like the US, can use it against you to destabilize your country. More countries should break free from this kind of digital colonialism.
