> The Netherlands won't do it. Personally I think it shouldn't, as it'd set a sort of precedent that would be easy to abuse in the future

Would you stand by this statement if we did s/Netherlands/United States/g ?

It's not about the governments of today, but those of the future.

Yes.

There is imho very little to gain from such a move, and potentially a lot to lose. Disconnecting a whole society in such a way would make the total government control even easier.

The USA has gone ahead and done it anyway. We shouldn't trust any government with that much power.
