[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1261233, member: 4258"] Bitcoin can be shut down, but can banks start putting stops on checks if they don't like who you're paying? My guess is that they can't, but that the Feds could, in fact, seize your bank account if they count doing certain types of overseas business as "suspicious activity." It would probably be pretty easy for them to redefine hosting a blog overseas as engaging in some sort of "terror" -- just like they redefined prostitution as "trafficking." But that said, the groups that I mentioned earlier in the thread -- whores and johns -- so far have not seen Fed harassment when it came to moving their online operations overseas. The USA Sex Guide now has an "nl" suffix and seems to be doing fine. A while back I read a book called "The Renegade History Of The United States." One of the points it made was that a lot of the freedoms we take for granted were forged by outsiders like whores and gangsters fighting for justice. If the manosphere wants to remain, we may have to follow the lead of those who were taken offline by FOSTA/SESTA. Or...someone might have to buy a ship, park it in international waters, and host blogs illicitly, like the old Pirate Radio stations did in 1960s England. [/QUOTE]
