Congress is proposing a legislation to counter what's happening, and multiple states are doing due to the fact that the vote was unlawful.

But just because you don't live in America doesn't mean you wouldn't be affected. YouTube, Netflix and Twitch are all examples of American based companies that operate world-wide. If they're throttled in America by Verizon, AT&T and Time-Warner, that would effect everyone who uses the site, American or not, as the revenue coming from America could suddenly drop enough that they're forced to 'pause' their services. And people whose livelihood is YouTube kn America could be out of a job.

Hopefully, it won't happen.
