Do you think that this will lead to a new version of a alternative "internet" where people try to avoid the government control? And is that even possible? Or will we all just comply?

Only if it can be turned into gray market business: additional layers of proxies and VPNs, and whatever new is invented.

As simple "I care about privacy" need is not a reason to bother with setup for a regular person. So it could work only if it's as easy, as current internet. And for profit businesses provide it.

As for another protocol all together: there are some experiments already, but again, why use those?

  • Yeah profits is a problem.

    I consider mesh-nets for home use... We already use walkies in the house...

only for a short while longer. US, EU, China, and Russia are all on the same page about you-vill-ovn-nothing-und-you-vill-be-happy kind of future, and they will bully the rest of the world into compliance.

  • It is such a sick idea. But i cant really figurer out if they want to force this on us or they just anticipate that type of poverty will become normal for the new "middle class" and they want to make everyone accept it with some "crisis argumentation".

    • > if they want to force this... or they want to make everyone accept it with some "crisis argumentation".

      False dichotomy, both parts are equivalent.
