The unfortunate reality is that as long as we use the current internet infrastructure, we will be survailed, psyoped, and generally put upon by the govt.
For those who dont know, arpanet (the spiritual predicessor to the internet) was an ARPA (now DARPA) project. They built the architechure for government coms, but realized it was inherently insecure to run the government's SIGINT on one network. So they released it to academia, which eventually manafested as the protocols that now make up the world wide web.
What Im driving at, is that when they realized their project could never be secure, they opted to make it as easy to control as possible (via TCP/IP). They then developed TOR, and realized the same issues, so they took control of all the exit nodes, again making things as tracable as possible.
If you want freedom of information, somebody better start working on a secure protocol for a truly open network, without unique identifying traits hard coded into the system like TCP/IP. IP addresses are basically lisence plates for your router, telling them where to mail the traffic ticket.

Time to move to the deep web or decentralize information.
