I love the idea of freedom tech. But why don't people who advocate for it also advocate for removing government involvement in spectrum allocation and telecom licensing and regulation?

Surely, a 'free' internet wouldn't involve getting permission from a bunch of bureaucrats to access. (Free as in freedom, not free beer.)

Seems to me that the most critical layers of the internet stack all over the world is run by various crony-bureaucrat alliances, rather than sound free market principles like property rights, contractual exchanges and homesteading.

Really good point. I could easily see ISP's starting to de-internet people like banks have de-banked wrongspeakers. Govt always uses companies to do their unconstitutional dirty work.

Public/private partnerships should be a red flag for all of us

Yeah, pub-priv parterships are just cronyism with a garb of 'intellectual nuance and balance'.

Fully private internet with no state involvement is the way.

Internet bans are way too common around the world.

A legal system with strong and well-defined property rights is necessary for a truly free internet (and a truly free society)

Without it, we're heading towards an Orwellian world of chaotic tyranny.
