Serious question: why can't Meta, Google, and friends just decide not to serve Arizona? I get logistically it would be tough, but if they built that capability, they would have a very robust lever to pull anytime a government pulls this schtick.
I would imagine the backlash from the people would fix this pretty quickly.
This seems like one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situations. I'd fully support big tech saying, "Alright Arizona. Build your own technical infrastructure."
And letting the fools in government who don't understand how the world works figure it out the hard way.
What am I missing? (beyond perhaps being overly optimistic!)
