    All it takes is one snapshot of legislator's IDs put online to poke a hole into this balloon.

        Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it's actually today?

        We're going to have internet licenses soon

          I think we need to organise a massive campaign for people to cancel their entire Isp for at least a month, I'm betting all this would get reversed almost overnight.

          Anything but that I fear they win and we all end up on the darknet.

            The real goal is to eliminate anonymity from the internet.

              this is backwards. why can't publishers mark pages as child-friendly and then browsers and operating systems can have a child-friendly mode that parents (or whoever the authoritarians are) can use. Laws can target people misusing the child-friendly mode.

                  Uh huh. People are addicted. I'd bet even the people with petabyte home media systems will go into withdrawal within picoseconds after not being able to get more more more more more more

                    This is why the Dark-web exists.

                    • Tor
                    • I2P
                    • Yggdrasil

                    • ZeroNet
                    • GNUnet (In the distant future)

                    Did I miss anything ?

                      Sure you can post links, but that's not the topic of the forum, and it's not specific the a xountrybor market, which is also a factor right now with the UK law, so it doesnt ping as a problem worth dealing with.

                          I mean, wouldn't lemmy qualify as darknet because it isn't the top 10 websites? We should be growing the Federation anyways so I'm down for that. At least they won't ban me for making Trump jokes.

                              I don't see how anybody could come for lemmy. I feel this just attacks centralized services

                              If they threaten server admins with legal action based on the global user count of lemmy rather than their local server user count I'm sure plenty of owners will fold.

                                Not sure about what the norms are where you live, but most people in the US have to sign 1-year agreements for Internet service, and those who don't typically either pay more or would pay before because they're on a cheaper, older rate that is grandfathered in and is no longer offered by the Internet service provider.

                                    Please explain how you can bypass carrier enforced traffic shaping policy.

                                    From geti2p.net:

                                    I2P's protocols are efficient on most platforms, including cell phones, and secure for most threat models. However, there are several areas which require further improvement to meet the needs of those facing powerful state-sponsored adversaries, and to meet the threats of continued cryptographic advances and ever-increasing computing power.

                                    The people involved in the project you're referring to acknowledge that governments can, by influencing carrier policy, disrupt and subvert the project's intended function. Why then are you implying they are incorrect?

                                        While there are interesting projects in that list, everything that I see is either only useful in a local setting, like wireless mesh networks and their derivative protocols, or assumes that no one is actively restricting what can be transmitted over the privately owned long haul fiber networks that make up the backbone of the internet. How would someone in Seattle transmit more data than can be sent via a ham radio equivalent signal to someone in New York without the use of those fiber networks?

                                          I believe they updated the FAQ, but it seems to be humming along just fine.
