Personal domains won't help you if the state releases laws which enables providers to silence whole domains against unwanted opinions.

What we need is a new decentralized Internet. We need not only open source software (for security reasons), not only open hardware (for security reasons) but also a new open non-commercial Internet which cannot be censored.

Why does it need to be non-commercial?

Personally I see commercial (with healthy competition) as a good sign that something will stick around for a while.

We already have a commercial Internet, we don't need a second one. Commercial interests would make the second Internet also a target of control.

Could you elaborate on the non-commercial aspects of this proposed solution? I think it's especially important to make it clear where the money will come from.

From the users of course. Remember the modem times when the users had to pay for the phone bills. In the same way users could use their phone lines for the next internet. We could also build a wifi mesh with mobile devices.

Not to be negative, but last mile was a viable part of the internet because the government mandates that that system be reliable. I'm interested in a wifi mesh, but until this moment I haven't thought about whether the government, or the technology itself, focuses on high reliability in that area. I think all the government cares about is if you don't interfere, but they don't care if your bits get through.

It's not necessarily a competence issue. Obviously not for non-technical people. But competence (maybe awareness is a better term here) isn't binary, and you grow as you age.

Probably instead of a domain, it should be a private key. Generated at the time your birth certificate is.

Would be able to generate keys now that will be secure for a whole lifetime? For anyone older than about 40, even state-of-the-art crypto from the time of their birth has been broken. Will modern crypto hold up any better?

Does your name mean "big goldfish-shaped space ship"?

This is a great question. Possibly related: I don't know the answer. :)

Problem is, what if somebody steals that private key, or if you lose it?

The solution clearly goes on that direction, but this is not enough. And I'd really like to see this one problem solved before we have to start asking something like "and what if somebody takes control of your brain, or you lose access to it?"
