I'm really concerned about the future of digital freedom. All big corporations are doing shit with governments to regulate and control the Internet, just for profits. Consumers and end users are abused, no governments care to preserve our freedom just to preserve the business of these big corporations like Nintendo, Disney, or Apple.
How to be optimistic for the future?

“No governments care” is an outright lie. Sure, there’s always more they could do, but the EU is at the forefront of regulating tech. And that’s a big conglomeration of countries and their respective governments.

The Liberal government in Canada just announced "The Online Harms Act", and a leading Canadian legal scholar/lawyer and information privacy advocate, Michael Geist, says that it's actually good legislation (for the most part).

So, there's movement in the right direction in other jurisdictions, too.

(Then again, our Senate is currently working on a bill to require age verification for porn, which we all know won't work and is a massive potential privacy quagmire.)

Edit: lol, autocorrect "Lobster" instead of "Liberal".

Bro, as a person living in a state that has imposed age verification for porn, it doesn’t work. At fucking ALL. Lmao

Either websites don’t give a fuck (xvideos.com) or they have outright removed themselves from the state (pornhub.com and all it’s sisters).

Not to mention that Twitter is practically a porn browser now.
