Lincoln found out the news the next day.
Not because of the online reports, but because of a report sent by Erman, the head of the [Freedom Life and Democratic Activities Foundation].
Erman was a pure American, deeply rooted in America, sponsoring North American users' protests on one hand, and handing out large political donations on the other, tirelessly fighting for the cause, and consequently, deeply hated by many.
But he was very secure – first, with money (income from the network proxy and Lincoln's backing), second, with political backing (political donations don't come without strings), and third, with public support (tens of millions of Cloud Dream users in America).
Not only was he secure, but he even enjoyed the sensation of standing in the limelight.
Although the income from the network proxy would stop once the ban was lifted, it was insignificant compared to what Lincoln had promised him.
