Legislation working its way through the UK parliament would ban children from using social media and virtual private networks – but the proposals would endanger online privacy and may not make children safer, say legal experts
The Internet is just a bunch of AS running open source protocols on commercially available infrastructure. It’s doing fine. The hosted commercial services might be fucked, but you can run your own.
Okay yeah that was the impression I had too. I was excited when I first heard about it but from what I read it didn’t seem like you could do much with it. I’m still interested in playing around with it though if I find some free time. Ham didn’t really interest me as it requires a license which kind of defeats the purpose of this imo.
The Internet was cool while it lasted

You’re using such a service right now.
no you can’t “run your own” for very long if that means you are breaking the law and can be legally punished for not complying with laws like this :(
Governments of the world, get the fuck out of the Internet.
Until the government beats down the door of whoever’s not following their BS laws and shuts them down.
We’ll just continue to make our own internet with blackjack and hookers. Too much knowledge is already out.
Isn’t that just the “dark web”
Yeah, it’s also meshtastic, ham, p2p
We’ve got options and always will.
What’re the data rates like on meshtastic and ham? Wasn’t looking great when I briefly looked at it.
I mean they’re not crazy good by any means, but they could be improved upon. More so speaking of mesh, ham is its own mystery in my brain.
Just examples really of networking outside of the normal infrastructure.

I assume unless they just make whitelist of sites you can connect to you can find workarounds.
