Canadian World Wide Web
Hi I'm Canadian. Can't we just get along and be nice. Why do we need local laws for these www companies anyway? Can't we just have one government on this piece of dirt we all live on? Hell we are blowing holes in it, putting plastic all over it, thinning out the ionosphere, burning the air, killing the fish, frogs and bees ... it all logic gone?
If www courts could be organized so www companies could make money nicely it would be good. Right?
Here's the rub. Us world dominated companies are making the laws to suit themselves or avoiding them wholesale. Canada's ruling is another wake up call for world government. Eventually laws will need to be world wide just as companies are world wide. We live on the same dirt in the vastness of space.

Just the eb and flow of control. Remember when Satellite signals were "free"? Control of content and owners copyright income raises its head and opens your pocket book with every new communications system. My 900 videos on YouTube are by using the service owned by alphabet and eventually I'll need to pay to see them. If control can happen, it will happen. Gotta keep theses dividends flowing, eh!
PHYSICAL OWNERSHIP WINS.

Business cycles happen. Look at oil down from heavenly highs jus a year ago. Social networks con only make Big Bucks for clicks or in your face adv.
When users feeler used they just go away. Remember when a cell phone was for real talking person to, erson? "Just text me" is its use now. We will never know when the tipping point comes. (Much like Mother Earth overheating due to our arrogance, burning, hidden for millions of years little fuel bugs and rocks.)
