And all service providers/hosts around the world are expected to comply.
Here’s one summary of the looming access control measures.
Reading and understanding all this (and the linked sources) feels so… difficult, obtuse, complex.
Australians soon engaging in wider spread adoption of VPN and tor usage.
Yeah. But the important question is where should we choose as our exit server. The UK is no good. Certain states in the US. European countries have rules. Are there any vpn servers in Africa or the Cayman Islands?
This is the real problem. As more and more countries push for laws like this I think sites will just adopt blanket age-verification for simplicity’s sake instead of having to constantly keep track of which countries/states in countries require it
Eventually a network decentralized on an infrastructure level, like a meshnet or satellite network where each satellite is controlled and owned by an individual, will be the only way to freely transmit digital information. Sending a CubeSat to LEO costs about $30k these days and will probably get cheaper as technology improves. I think a community run decentralized satellite network accessible via local meshnet through on-ground satellite-connected nodes will be the next step in the fight against censorship. As long as governments control the cables our data flows through, they won’t stop trying to control it.
Im surprised this is the first Ive heard, and so little response. Who do we petition, when’s the march?
Dude, this is Australia, we just protest if China does it other then that it’s fiine.
Will it come to india ?
Inshitification of the Internet, who would have thought.
I wonder what it would take now to ditch the internet like one would do when ditching Facebook for example.
It would be somewhat freeing, I imagine. Though, if you were to go hardcore, quick access to knowledge would be the biggest drawback.
Ditching the enshittified parts would probably be easier. Can do offline maps (or paper), purge social media, and use credible sites for any information you might need to look up.
