So going forward all countries will be providing citizens of other countries free access to the internet whilst censoring their own citizens?

Better than the alternative where they don't, I suppose. Kind of like how for some political things you have to use yandex to search because US search companies suppress the results.

This will be like a global circus of free speech:

Country-1: "Absolutely free speech! Except when it's about Country-4 -> rights revoked."

Country-2: "Criticize Country-4 all you want, but talking smack about Country-5 is treason buddy."

Country-3: "Wait... so I can roast Country-4 but not Country-5... and also not Country-6? My head hurts."

Country-4: "We don't block anything! ...Just not that thing you're talking about."

Country-5: "See Country-3? We absolutely love speech. As long as it praises us. Freedom yay!"

In the end, we might end up having the very same private vpn';s (or tor) routing their traffic over these gov. vpn's based on keyword matches in the request.. or customer's will be able to choose .. kinda like auto-model feature on openrouter lol.
