Brexit is seeming smarter every day. What started as knee jerk reaction to immigration seems more sensible than ever, for myrid reasons.

At the current rate, it wouldn't be too implausible to see leave win by more votes in the case of a second referendum.

Still, it also provides an interesting opportunity for political parties if they have the guts to follow through, do something pro consumer/voter and stick to their guns. Think about it. A pro Brexit party who said outright that they were not going to be for internet censorship or privacy violations and pushed their views as a counter to the likes of Article 13 could win a lot of support in the tech industry/with younger demographics, and they'd probably reap a fair few financial benefits for themselves and the country too.

And given its the US that's raking in the money with the likes of Google/Facebook/Amazon/whatever rather than the EU, it could make economic sense to work more closely with them than Europe too.

Yeah, British politicians are so much better, they will produce only fair, sensible policies.
