I grow more convinced all the time that there's a joint effort between tech corporations and governments to kill the open internet.
Repealing section 230 will kill social media in the US.
And AI search "assistants" will make it so that most people won't bother actually going to sites, which will destroy their ad revenue, which will put them out of business But conveniently enough, AI data centers will still have all of their content, which they can and will then put behind paywalls.
Just about every effort by Western governments can be described as a "joint effort" with corporations because they're just doing what the corporations tell them to do.
I'm suspecting the same. This 230 thing, the massive surge in datacenter construction of the last few years, the memory and storage disruption which is just beginning and growing (and already expected to have bad long-term effects on all personal computing devices), the sweeping i.d. verification bullshit around the world and in many U.S. states now, the unilateral and unaccountable influence that demons like Thiel and Yarvin seem to have on politics.
It all feels like a complex, orchestrated push toward total individual surveillance and removal of personal (thus private) computing device ownership and open communications.
Big Tech loves to push for regulations only they can implement...
