This Republician idea gets floated enough without the BBC article:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-apps-pompeo-bre...
Or did want an older Democrat proposal:

The idea of walling the internet is quite old.

The US wouldn't worry, and would make their own internet with hookers, blackjack, zero privacy, taxes, inane regulations and pork, but it would be US controlled. This is how Americans work.
Edit: Downvote if you must but it is the mindset of many:

"The primary difference between Smithy and OpenAPI is that Smithy is protocol-agnostic, allowing Smithy to describe a broader range of services, metadata, and capabilities. Smithy can be used alongside OpenAPI by converting Smithy models to OpenAPI."

We could build some blueprint legislation for states that has country of origin and stick it on a website. After that we could rally our state legislature to use our blueprint. It would be easier to go that route than federally. Look at what California does with emissions standards and cancer causing items. States have power.

Manufacturering defense items overseas is a mistake for a xenophobic nation.

States are free to enact laws and companies are free not to do business in those states. States might prevent realtors from discrimination when showing homes, it is within their role as government.

Yes and they will. Big tech and the DNC are tightly coupled. If he doesn't like it he can build his own data centers, but they can still refuse to serve him at the DDOS protection tools, the DNS servers and even the browser. Edge, Chrome and Firefox are all run by DNC cohorts. If they really wanted to unperson him nothing would stop it.

No. A judge and the police sent a man to jail. The match software is a tool and the process needs humans to be more careful about trusting it with grainy photos.

True Hackers use Compuserve or Prodigy.
