What happened to the fight for the Internet? -- Dustycloud Brainstorms
A personal essay arguing that internet freedom fights have lost momentum because the internet itself has become so centralized that most people no longer see it as a public commons worth defending. The author connects the rise of age-verification and surveillance bills across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK to a broader coordinated push toward centralization, and warns that decentralized, encrypted communication is increasingly the last line of defense against authoritarianism. Readers are urged to contact representatives, join the fediverse, explore p2p tech, and speak out.
