I wonder what's the positive effect of sharing the same Internet with the French?

Or the Americans? How about the Scottish? I know I personally want rid of the Irish from the internet, so we should black-hole all traffic from there too while we're at it.

Not that I agree with the parent, but you're being disingenuous. The Americans, Sottish, French, and Irish are not actively trying to wreck the Internet, certain US Congress members notwithstanding. There's a difference between throwing someone out of your store because you don't like the look of them and throwing someone out of your store because they shit on the floor every time they come in.

The Chinese people aren't actively trying to wreck the Internet either. It's more like banning everyone with black skin from your store because a black person once robbed it.
