I feel that this is a lost cause.
But, for the sake of argument, I will offer my perspectives.
Boogle is owned by the deep state. They are known censorers. And have never let regulations get in the way of offering advertisements.
Everything the govern-cement has done with regulations has hurt the little person while helping the big corporation.
The govern-cement already has black boxes (and yes, they are black) installed all over the internet. They control whatever it is they want to control. Bamf'ing, DNS, packet capture, metadata recording...
To me, net neutrality will end up with the wolves making a deal with the foxes to guard the hen house. Yes, I think it would be a great idea to have a new constitutional amendment, such as "Don't fucks with the interwebs", but I just don't see it happening.
My efforts will go into providing an internet alternative/improvement.
Well the EU just fined them, so that is not entirely true.
Yes but in this case there is no little person. All ISP's are giant datacenters basically, it's like banks, you need billions of $ of capital to open one due to the regulations and operating costs anyway.
So there is no small ISP that would get hurt, in most countries there are only like 3-4 ISP's, well that is not a very free market by default isn't it?
Yes exactly, so this regulation doesn't really add any more power to the Government per se, but it can take over some of the censorship capabilities of giants.
Let me put it this way, if the government wants Bitcoin gone, they can probably do it. Same way with Steemit.
But the Government really doesn't care that much, but I bet big social media companies would want Steemit gone, so it would be easier for them to "lobby" an ISP to throttle traffic of Steemit users, than to lobby the Government to ban Steemit.
So I think a lot of the hostility towards cryptocurrencies will come from entrenched corporate oligarchs, and not necessarily the Government.
Yes a Meshnet would be nice, but until then, this is the best we got.
