That’s just ego bait you use to get into fights on the internet.

Not even gonna bother with this comment. It’s everywhere and obvious.

Stop giving everything you have to these psychopath owners. You are empowering their ability to harm us further.

The internet is becoming a hostile place, filled with predators and hazards, a privilege only of the wealthy, the powerful and their slaves, was not on my bingo card for things I’d live through. I feel I may have no choice but to genuinely disconnect from all of it in my private life.

Why is it acceptable to experiment on children? Why are those who want to do so, still accepted in society? Of course those are many of the same people who rape children, so I guess it makes sense they would also be willing to experiment on them. Release the Epstein files.

The same people who abuse community resources (bulldoze public green spaces, kill rivers, pollute oceans, despoil lands, toxify the air, extinct animals etc.), do the exact same to information and the sources of it. They take for themselves and give nothing back. They cannot coexist with community or communal anything (which is why they hate community and socialism). They cannot give and will compulsively take. Their lives are why greed is considered a sin, insatiable and cruel, and it was wise to believe so.

Never share anything of value with the world. Do not allow them to know value exists or they will come for it. Giving freely and openly has empowered those who advantage themselves, by stealing every idea that is shared. They are the enemy, they are the threat, their psychology is a hazard to the community.

Share only with your communities and close those communities to these thieves. The only solution to private power is community power. We need to build back our communities and abandon everything possible that they control.

Laws to allow companies to permanently fuck up our children…

Then the services reduce what a website does. Neither of us know what that internet looks like but it solves the problem of privacy and I’d want to see what it its like and what innovations emerge to solve the problems you’re mentioning. A new internet is a massive undertaking, why wouldn’t it have lost a of problems needing to be solved? The significance of your criticism is proportional to the significance of the change.

Of course they will be problems if you expect the exact same experience as now. Why can’t a website send everything? Bandwidth really isn’t so much of an issue and neither is latency these days. If that means a website needs to be built leaner and with less stuff, so be it. I don’t see anything you mention as a real blocker.

Make the site send everything and the device determine what to use.

So we need a new internet then?

Is there anything that blocks all that other stuff, too?

You’re right, and it’s failure will be the excuse to deprive us all of more of our privacy and autonomy.
