the government/corporations have zero incentive to actually give a shit about people's privacy/freedom. That's the entire problem, and this hand-holding kumbaya shit does nothing to address that.

>pic Holy fuck, that is like reading some delusional naive child's fantasy of internet utopia. Like someone who is extremely out of touch with reality entirely.
Oh how delusional. Nobody cares about this naive crybaby's utopia because people don't care about human dignity and having a civil discourse, many people revel in seeing the misery of others who deserve it as much as they enjoy watching the underdogs succeed. People need the worst for the best to shine, people absolutely hate mediocrity because there's nothing interesting about that and interest is everything humanity cares about.
The actual future of the internet is a decentralization and distributed web, meaning it's going to be impossible to censor information, good or bad. An example of that is IPFS which is still in the works. After making information impossible to censor, the next step in the distant future will be to make the internet impossible to switch off by way of having Meshnets istead of ISPs, and the final step will be to make it impossible to switch off your hardware even if the government cuts off the power.

You're not wrong but you're also projecting. You assume people like to see others suffer because YOU like to see others suffer. It is true for a lot of people unfortunately, but definitely not everyone and i highly doubt its even a majority.
Tyler Collins
nobody cares about TBL
Tyler Howard
Literally none of those other than the affordability one have come true.
Leo Phillips
That's why I said many people, not everyone.

> Principle 5 - Respect and protect people's privacy and personal data > Puts the survey on google, which has a billion trackers and fingerprints your browser, injecting it with HIVs unless you have hardened security settings
>that would be agreed by governments >Principle 3 - respect and protect people's fundamental online privacy and data rights Oh come on. No, seriously. If his proposal pivots on this, then its already DOA. Governments will publicly agree to anything, but would never actually follow this in their actions. It's over, Tim.
>would never actually follow this in their actions They'll have to, if they'll be put unto the potentiality of suffer the consequences in a form of jail time or outright execution.
Jeremiah Lewis
This is how libruls operate in the real world.
Carter Wood
I wish I had your optimism that kind, caring, ethical people will one day be the norm in governments. The sort of people who understand that acting in bad faith should have bad consequences. Maybe one day. Don't give up hope. We're counting on you.

God damn Al-GORE!!!
Austin Butler
Good text, nothing wrong there.
Brayden Cooper
i'm sure the slacktivist shitdicks on r/reddit will love this
Nolan Cook
...huh?
Matthew Reyes
I agree that Google and co. need to be gassed off the net; however, the fewer normies the better. We need to undo smartphone damage.
Henry Carter
ye and to make this work you have to enforce it meaning that some companies will be out of reach and play their game outperfoming established ones and just switching power around countries.
This is just another communist manifesto, it wont work because that's not how we handle things.
There's nothing stopping people from doing this now except that the ISP model is vastly more efficient and scalable.
Landon Reyes
it looks ok but fuck 6 and 8, those require censorship
Jacob Peterson
>This is how the internet already works. Not really, everything is centralized, the situation with sadpanda is a consequence of that. If the servers go down the content goes with it, but in a distributed web, as long as someone was pinning/seeding the content that the website had, it would be as if the website didn't go down at all. Just read about IPFS for the technicalities behind that.
>There's nothing stopping people from doing this now except that the ISP model is vastly more efficient and scalable. It's more of a bandwidth problem than an efficientcy problem, but yeah, ISPs are going to stay here for a very long time.
Kayden Fisher
>>Holy fuck, that is like reading some delusional naive child's fantasy of internet utopia. What do you expect from academics
>it looks ok but fuck 6 and 8, those require censorship you're right.
Jack Young
Good stuff, let's do it
Dominic Brooks
There should be some kind of totally new decentralized internet using the latest cryptographic technologies, and instead of ISPs you have wireless mesh networks that can be set up by citizens. The new internet needs to be in the hands of the people, not corporations. Artificially-set bandwidth limits, etc., should not exist in the 21st century.
William Gray
Strictly speaking, they don't. All they require is that social media quit making all interactions into a twisted game. But the corporations would put a stop to any efforts to that, insisting that likes, follows, upvotes, favorites, retweets, are all making humanity better; augmenting conversation, when in reality, all it does it make it harder than it has to be, raising the stakes of every interaction and making everyone wish everyone else was dead. If he really wanted to put an end to that, you can't bury it in some vague, subjective goal. You have to specifically demand it stop.
