  You missed another huge problem.

  Everyone remembers TD's post on Totalbuscuit getting a DMCA on YouTube over a negative review of Day One: Garry's incident? Ok good now consider the ones they didn't cover, like time it happened to Totalbuscuit with his review of guise of the wolf, or when Jim sterling looked at the slaughtering grounds or more recently with skate man intense rescue.
  Given how low some indie devs are willing to go, does anyone more intelligent than a potted plant(or the politicians advocating backdooring encryption, whichever is dimmer) think giving them the power to ban people from steam entirely is a good idea?

  "Tell us about a security vulnerability in our software."
  "You won't let anyone look at it."
  "So?"

  My question is if the Internet has to follow the lawsof every country what happens when two countries have laws with that are the opposite Olof each other. Ex: Country A has law that says you can't advertise your competitors and country B says you have to for anti-competitive reasons.

  What part of stubborn and have a temper didn't you get? That portion of the brain that says "maybe I shouldn't" is also mute so...

  Yeah but I come from a family were logic is nonexistent. Cop said something was closed my father threatened to take his gun and "shove it up your ass and pull the the trigger". His words, not mine. The guy was being nice and everything.

  It'd probably result in my own death by excessive force...

  But in the position of the eyewitness I'd likely say something along the lines of "screw you, I'm not giving you my phone short of showing up at my door with a signed court order and 20 of the national guard backing you up. So go on back to your little tree fort and complain with tears in your eyes to the rest of your laughably dressed, blue-clothed jarheads that are you and those you work with."
  Probably not the brightest idea but meh I'm too stubborn and have a temper.
