   I feel like the internet should be an independent national organization, independently regulated with its own rule of law and governance systems, letting national governments which are tied to specific populations and land areas control such an important shared global resource is misguided and morally/ethically wrong tbh

     Yes. We should centralize the internet to avoid anyone completely controlling it. 😏

     Does government manage the internet? They regulate it, but they don’t do packet shaping. That’s net neutrality shit…

     They regulate it or keep other countries from doing so within the jurisdiction. Whether they control content or traffic or protocols etc is a jurisdictional issue I suppose.

     @magicalthinking@noauthority.social @Humpleupagus@eveningzoo.club they regulate usage of the internet, they don't actually manage or run it right now (for the most part), I just don't think national governments that don't even manage or control the internet should be regulating how people use it
     
     most of the world doesn't have net neutrality, and the USA repealed it recently (again), so packet shaping and blocking/censorship happens constantly online according to whatever your government just doesn't like that day, in the USA internet providers will check for insecure connections and inject extra advertising into websites just to rake money out of you (and this is technically legal), in other places entire protocols like torrents are blocked
     
     The people responsible for running the internet should be working on regulating and managing more of it without intervention and demands from random governments, like US states that want to block porn, or Egyptian and Chinese governments trying to block news websites, letting some national government which only represents a fraction of the people online control how shared resources are used and accessed by everyone else is just shitty in general
     
     This isn't even such a new idea, the people who built these systems understood the issues it could create, that's actually why the governments don't manage who can buy and run a website online, that'd be terrible lol

     So we need a government to protect us from government because the government we have isn't protecting us.
     
     You're retarded.

     I think we actually need an fbi to protect us from the fbi. The fbi is too corrupt and/or incompetent.
