Thesis 2
Those who have enclosed the open internet now sell you the story that true freedom was something from the eighties — and almost everyone falls for it.
In 1989, you bought a computer, plugged in a cable, dialed a number, and you were online with the whole world — without an account, without permission, without five gatekeepers watching to see if you were allowed.
Today, you buy a phone and you are first a customer of Apple or Google, then a tenant of Meta or Amazon, and only then — if you behave — are you allowed to do something.
They call that chain “convenience” and “security”, so you forget that freedom was once simple, direct, and without gatekeepers.
