Does there exist any meaningful organized push-back against all the stuff that is essentially &quot;tie people&#39;s personal ID to their computers and internet access, then subsequently restrict their internet access accordingly&quot;? If yes, how does one join that, if no, how does one bootstrap that?

like, the most extreme form of this I could imagine would be "you need to obtain a certificate/license of successful training in Internet and perhaps pay a regular fee to be able to access most/all of the internet, otherwise you only get a very narrowed-down version (even if you could reach the servers, the servers would also be forced by law by default to deny you access w/o the cert". That's not technically impossible to implement.

@fogti I can make things even more scary. Security checks, at getting the cert, and every time you renew, or whenever they feel like beating more info out of you. They keep your responses for future blackmail, or intelligence and investigation use should you question capitalism and the state...
