Just build your own internet, financial system, and government, goy.

The internet is open. You can peer with whomever you like, that isn’t the problem. Pickup a few million $$$, peer with equinox and you have unfettered access to the internet. Fintech, use crypto. Don’t want government, then move to Christmas Island.

It’s not impossible, thepiratebay is still accessible years after being banned. Instead of parroting 4chan memes maybe start investing in companies that align with your viewpoints

Until Google or a backbone provider BGP announce that they own your IP ranges. And then add your site to SafeBrowsing. And then your domain provider suspends your domain. Sure.

HN has been kind of absurd to watch on this topic over the past few years. At first it was, "if you don't like Twitter's policies build your own Twitter". So people did. Now it's literally build your own internet and smartphone ecosystem. I wonder if those people ever go back and re-visit their old positions to re-evaluate if it was reasonable.

Wiki: In modern Hebrew and Yiddish goy (/ ɡɔɪ /, Hebrew: גוי ‎, regular plural goyim / ˈɡɔɪ.ɪm /, גוים ‎ or גויים ‎) is a term for a gentile, a non-Jew. Through Yiddish, the word has been adopted into English (often pluralised as goys) also to mean gentile, sometimes with a pejorative sense.

1984 is about government censorship and psychological control.

Exactly. And Apple is in bed with the government. And many of us carry around Apple branded microphones (or telescreens I should say?) in our pocket. And Apple allows indirect government backdoors (unencrypted iCloud "backups", etc).
