> It's hard to do otherwise without doing injury to the core concept "You own your own machine" whether 'you' is one person with a smartphone or a corporation with a datacenter.

It's not hard at all. In fact it's easy. Simply recognize the basic fact that corporations are not even human to begin with. Adopt a user maximalist philosophy. Classify the corporations as second class citizens, below us in importance. We absolutely should own our machines. Corporations? Maybe, if they behave. Remember: they are not even human.

If they're abusing their freedom to exert undue influence on us humans, simply take the freedom away. They exist to serve us, not the other way around. And they need to serve us on our terms, not their shareholder value maximizing terms. Their reward for serving us is not just the money they make, it is their continued existence. They are not human lives that inherently deserve to be protected, they exist because people allow it.

Wanna see how easy it can be?

Pass a computer neutrality and interoperability law which states that if you're a company and you have public servers then they must take requests from all clients. It doesn't matter if it's OpenAI or a tamagotchi, all computers must be able to participate in the system.

This allows you as a private person to keep your servers secure with challenge response while restricting the ability of corporations to abuse us with their attestation nonsense.
