Decades passed and its not even remotely true anymore? Never really was tbh. Anonymity on the net is on its last legs thanks to adoption by the masse show need training wheels and rubber corners and a fence to not hurt themselves.

show need training wheels and rubber corners and a fence to not hurt themselves.

Dangers in the internet:

  • lies about some product (adverts)
  • lies about things (misinformation)
  • scammers abusing gathered/leaked data

There's no need to supervise users. There's a need to crack down on abusive hosters. You can't make the internet more safe otherwise.

What they do here is either symbol politics or they do this to get more power over their people.

But why? And why now? Why do they even care about vpns and ages l *all of a sudden *? What are they up to!?

They want to control what information people have access to and want to feed us propaganda to keep us doing things that make them richer and will put and keep them in control of economic policies.

This isn't sudden, it's been brewing in the background for years.

They're up to fascism.
