      They have offices and datacenters in the EU. So forced physical entry and interruption to their operations would be the next escalation step.

        But what if they hire mercenaries to force access to their physical locations?

          At that point it’s an act of rebellion against that nations authority over its territory, and the police/armed forces may step in.

          I see what you’re doing but that chain of thought doesn’t lead anywhere.

      They could force ISPs to block, not allow physical hardware sales in stores, take over any assets (offices), confiscate their server farms. There’s lots that can be done.

        Oh, we are being enthusiastic about the state boot again.

        I mean, since corps are already using it to their ends, then it’d be probably a good thing to stomp them right back with that boot.

        But I’d like a clean humanist solution more.

        That’d involve, for example, commissioning a FOSS P2P post-Web system which would replace Google’s and Facebook’s and others’ services. A few dozens of nation states, not poorest on Earth, could do that.

        That system would be simpler and cheaper than their missiles and jet planes and drones, while so tremendously useful to kill once and for all this particular threat.

        Like those Locutus and ghost keys things, which are not a working thing yet, but very promising.
