Most of the world is now operating in a legal no mans land where basic human rights are bieng violated on an industrial scale by an unholy private alliance of beurocrats , billionares, and tech companys. The casual ending of the right to private comunications that has been central to successfull civilisation for millenia, is at the core of the unfolding situation. Add in the impossibility of verifying what comunications are legitimate ,local to an indivual and based on verifiable facts has pushed, countrys, most recently Iran, to cut themselves off from the internet. As to implimentable solutions, there are technical changes to hardware and software that would establish a fully distributed internet with allocated space for everyone by law, with "platforms" bieng trimmed back into take it or leave it entertainment channels that can never access personal information. Personaly I am abandoning online services unless there is income bieng generated directly from then.To make the point, yesterday I cancelled and deleeted my online bank account, with my hinky cheap phone and off brand browser it became untenable , not counting the online banking "service" bieng massivly tilted towards selling things under cutsey labels. I will go back in and remove most of my "payees" as I will no longer let the bank have access to a full picture of my financial activities, and I have done the same with Government and do ALL my interactions with them, in person. No more figuring out where things are burried on sites, or the slow creap of adds, updates and verifications. What it boils down to is that I very strongly believe that civilisation can not be run by an alogorythm no matter how baddly beurocrats and people in power want it, and that the current situation is created by blaming people for that failure, which is of course continiously imenent, staid off by ever greater technical efforts and violations of citizens rights.
