I hope we can elect politicians who don’t hate the Internet at some point, so that we don’t have to hope it will be unenforceable.
I’ve been a very regular user of the Internet for more than 20 years, and 20 years ago I thought that surely in 20 years, the Internet will have become established and governments will no longer be trying to attack it, instead we will be living in a utopia of free international communication. That has turned out to be false. :(

People should have thought about electing decent politicians decades ago, but far too many have fallen for electing ‘the lesser evil’ instead.

Idk if it’s really possible to have government supported internet that isn’t a government controlled internet. Governance in general relies a lot on the spiral of silence, and a free internet tends to disrupt it.
