After we retake our basic communication freedoms, the next phase will be decentralised network infrastructure. We are at least a decade out - but it will be the next battle ground.

Centralised “internet” providers, including starlink or whatever else are bad long term.

And sadly it all boils down to ‘guilty before innocent’ assumptions, which is effectively the source of KYC.

Centralised services will be unable to break free from the states KYC obsession and control without ethics approach.

We are losing freedoms faster than we are making any ground

We just need to out invent the slow moving governments. They certainly have an advantage right now.

You can’t un-invent technology. Atom bombs, Bitcoin, the mining industry. Doesn’t matter what.

Our advantage is we can distribute processing power like never before and in a coordinated way. Data storage and battery life will be at turning points in a decade - where what can’t be done today on a mobile will be a shrinking subset.

I don’t know how to fix the governments obsession with making endless laws - other than at some point it’s too costly to enforce. Just like being fined for no mask during Covid - it was practically never enforced or paid. Or why bicycle theft is never investigated anymore.

We just need to out manoeuvre a slowly sinking ship… it will get easier. And in some ways maybe harder, but awaiting future solutions.

There's hope. But more of us who've woken up need to wake others and as a whole we need to put in the work to learn and build the solutions.

Yep. Decentralised communications takes away influence from governments and mainstream media.

The noise will slowly die. We still have challenges around fake information propagation - and even AI content. However, it will be much harder for them to control.

TVs are dying as people use their phone while having it on in the background. It’s perishing as people’s attention moves to mobiles.
