Samsung, and some other major players put a lot of ads and bloatware in their phones, TVs, laptops and other appliances. Xiaomi doesn't have ads on global versions of TVs and Phones. I know the Chinese version does have ads.

As a homeowner, I don't know what is worse. Using stuff where the local government can watch and spy on every step or some Chinese guy watching your boring life if you are low-level person.

This court order are sent to exchanges and some wallet providers... One of the major exchanges Kraken CEO told, that they have to comply to orders like this right now... It would be interesting and I think in future we definitely will see such event, then court order will tell miner to forbid transacting from some addresses. It would be interesting to see reaction to such order.

Blockchain is database. Website or product who use it can control and filter out what data to show. It can be on chain, but social network dont have to show it.

No spam and micro transactions. Post costs 10 pens. Like 2 pens. etc... You can yearn money if someone shares your content, likes, etc. Its all on blockchain. You own your twetch data and can move on any time

We will see how courts will decide. Right now it's just a presumptions on how things can roll out.

Miners investing hundred millions dollars into operation. If court will tell them, like for example 3 biggest miners from US to make that block, they will do it to protect investment, because other way they will get sanctions from gov. Other people on non-mining nodes can fork it, but noone with millions dollars at stake will be on forked chain and only miners make blocks. Court will not be stupid and believe, that such move is legal way to disobey court.

From legal standpoint it is interesting case and it can bring precedent to crypto scene. We will know if person can lose coins and retrieve them back lawful way with court order. Even more interesting, that most miners are now located in USA jurisdiction.

We know, that Google and others can adjust results based on courts orders. It's interesting if miners who invested hundred millions into mining operation could follow order and implement changes to mining software.

It its a known secret, that right now, major miners do some changes and implementations, like for example blacklisting/watching big cold wallets of major exchanges for coins to be secure and not stolen by mistake.
