I remember years ago there was an EU project to require every user to identify themselves to access online social networks that could include forums, and theymos said something like that he was not going to pay any attention if a "Bolshevik" EU requirement came for that. In view of what's happened recently, I am not so sure what he would do now if such a requirement came, especially from the USA.

This forum is hosted in the US if I'm not mistaken, and at the time of Theymos's first statement that you referenced he hadn't yet been challenged/intimidated/whatever by any government as of yet. But you only really know how one is going to react in a stressful situation once that situation happens. Before that, it's all talk.

Plus I don't think Theymos would have to abide by anything the EU decreed. Not that Europe and the US don't cooperate, but whatever. This whole situation is just frustrating.
