I think the internet needs to get much more comfortable with protest through noncompliance.

We need more stuff hosted through obfuscated channels (Tor, I2C, etc) and more user friendly access to those networks.

The internet was built on noncompliance with laws. The hens are coming home to roost that is all. Sovereign countries can only let social media and tech companies poison their societies so much before it becomes a real threat to the nation.

It was all fun and games while it was a few geeks and early adopters having (mostly) fun. Now it is corporations making billions while destroying the mental health and productivity of their "users".
