The internet is broken. The design was made to allow nodes to route using multiple paths so destroying one node simply re-routed using different paths. However, today, the design has been destroyed and today we have trunks, gates and filters. This is no longer the internet. I'm not sure what we should call it.
Hey look! An idiot boomer who has no idea what he's talking about. The internet still works fine for those of us who know how to use it.
I'm sure if your idea of "the internet" is Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, etc. then yes, it's broken. But just because those services ON the internet are broken, doesn't mean that the internet itself is broken. The network still routes around damage (including censorship) just like it always has.
Choosing to use online gated communities with censors and filters is your problem, not ours. Just like choosing to live in shitty sea-nigger countries with no 1st or 2nd Amendment protections is not our problem.
I've seen the video; this tells me the internet is working fine as usual. Don't blame others because you don't know what you're doing.
Tell Pirate Bay that. Tell Kim.com that. I seem to recall CloudFlare deplatformed some sites like DailyStormer, backpage.com has been seized. Don't get me started with GoDaddy. Germany is going to make TOR illegal. ICANN will seize domains. This is where I'm coming from. Not to mention the bullshit from last mile provides that port block and deep packet inspect in order to "manage" their network. Think that isn't happening in the United States? How about Verizon not providing enough peer transit connections? I don't know where you've been hiding not to realize this.
