you know, I’ve been thinking thoughts along this line (starting from my earlier comments on awful of the creeping loss of the open internet to gated communities) progressing along the current arc of “with teeth” stuff necessary in today’s infosphere, and this is a hugely helpful perspective! it’s pretty weird seeing a coming time when the old mostly open-and-connected-widely internet is … not. even now it’s already on us quite a bit (geoblocks, countries doing specific shutdowns, whole areas being handled with less trust, etc). it all follows cultural lines, of course, and I often wonder whether that will see some kind of directed effort to change (for the better) after some of the coming dark years
