Try as it can, the FCC’s jurisdiction would only apply to networks and servers and sites hosted within US borders, right? A site hosted in, say, Panama or Japan or India could still thumb its nose at them.

Considering foreign hosting alternatives for FR yet?

Fully expect accelerated efforts to pass a UN International “Internet Protection” treaty any time now, all in the name of:
1. thwarting terrorism / inciting violence, such as ISIS recruitment, via hate / radical / misinformation site information monitoring and filtering to label and restrict access, to “protect” us.
2. ensure privacy of world citizens to “protect” against improper use of Personal Information data - authorities will need to monitor PII / PHI data to ensure compliance.

3. protect vital infrastructure, such as banking, health, food, energy, government essential services - authorities will overtly need to monitor IP addresses.

Note, the USA ICANN ceded control of the internet

FCC gets control of the US internet last week.

Now Google is going to work with Microsoft and left orientated “Fact-checking” sites to “protect” US subjects from mis/dis-information.

Things are moving fast to usher in a Global Tyrannical Dem-Socialist reign.
Control information dissemination
Crash the dollar / EU
Reconstitute governments and economies to usher in a “A New World Order” (power & social structure), just as Bush I literally stated, 25 years ago...

“Try as it can, the FCC’s jurisdiction would only apply to networks and servers and sites hosted within US borders, right?”

Wrong, because the foreign servers can be monitored for content and their IP addresses can then be filtered out at the intermediate domestic routers responsible for forwarding the IP packets. The end result would be monitoring and censoring of foreign located servers who are then unable to deliver IP packets to domestic American clients.

Doesn't Google already censor search results for China and other oppressive nations?
