medieval times were pretty harsh, the nobility/royality could essentially, legally, just take whatever they wanted
it was more brutal yeah
might not be a slave but as good as one
right now they still do, just less often
just is a big difference ikr
lmao well these days power has been made more accessible to common folk
thanks to the internet
mostly the internet
power is not divided but people can, if they are talented and lucky, win a piece of that pie
the internet is the most valuable thing that people can have
and once it dies, people will come back into the dark age
and get manipulated like some whores
the internet probably won't die until government gets too involved
but then we'll just have new intranets
yeah
the undergrounds
the 80s hackers lmao
I wouldn't be surprised if national intranets become quite popular eventually
The hackers known as 4chans 😂
@Doctor Anon low tier!
one of the big gripes government has is to do with the international jurisdiction of the internet after all
encrypt everything
the government might kindly ask to suck my dick
encryption > their peasants at bureaus
not really
encryption puts you above the pay grade of the general dogsbody sure
the only reason for why the silk road guy was arrested was because the fucking moron left the stuff decrypted before the police raid
but if they really want to investigate you
it means jack shit
it's just about if they have your attention or not
wait, if you have theirs
back to front
you cant break the encryption if it's set up correctly. If people used it widely, no way to break it
you wont break up everyone's encryption, no way
backdoors - yeah, sure Use open source then
Just saying, people should learn. The totalitarian internet is a real danger
What companies cant access is the biggest pain in their ass
cut them off your data and they die
I expect the government to start using AI anyway
for tracking the internet routes and shit like that
one might dislike drugs and illegal shit, but China isnt the best place to be as of right now
