Article 13 Is Back On: Worse, Not Better

Sometimes I wish we could go back to the early 1990s, when governments didn't care about the internet, and it wasn't controlled by corporations yet. Some way to cut out the corporations and governments and run a network directly between people would be nice.

Preferably without pedos and traffickers, of course, but it's probably unavoidable that if we'd be able to do our own thing without corporate/government interference, then so would any other group. That makes this a tough problem.

Governments are constructs created by people. You can’t circumvent them.

They're also supposed to serve the people; and when they don't, it's the people's responsibility to remove them from power.

Which is just about where we are right now in many countries, at the point where that coin drops collectively.
