I say great. Is there no one with software coding skills that would like to take half of their customer base and become an instant billionaire? Where is the logical thought in all of this? Nobody needs Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google to survive. But Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google, and all the rest must have us to survive. Turn it off! I already did. Losing half their customer base overnight would be a death spiral that could not be reversed. They can sign their death warrants at will. Who wants to become an overnight billionaire? Surely there are some software coders somewhere who aren't totally brain dead.

It's already out there! Tor, IPFS, Zeronet (my top recommendation), cjdns. These protocols are more important now than ever! Just as turning off the internet of the masses is in our power, building the internet of the future is as simple as just using it!

Respectfully, do you think this is all about Alex Jones? It's a huge frontal attack on free speech and a huge step towards takeover of the Internet.

From WP:

The ZeroNet website and bittorrent tracker are blocked in China.

So you think Apple, who has aligned with the Chi-Coms, would blink at being involved in blocking ZeroNet WW? Wake up to what is really going on. These NWO commies really are that evil. And yes, they are involved in pedo trafficking and abuse as well.

You're preaching to the choir, friend, I am well aware of the deeper implications that we are witnessing through the gradual implementation of state run internet. Several points are being left out here. Everything is blocked in China, ZeroNet is a functioning, successful bypass of their state firewall. If you don't believe me, install it yourself and see how many posts are in Chinese. Last time I logged in, about 9 out of 10 were Chinese.

Here's the bigger issue with what you're saying, and this is exactly what I'm trying to communicate and why I'm so excited about these projects. Okay, let's say Apple "blocks" ZeroNet. They can only do so by removing all instances of it from the App store and software/literature. This affects absolutely nothing. There exists another decentralized project, The Hyperborea network, that has had its Wikipedia page deleted and all instances of news after 2015 scrubbed. However, having used it, I can tell you that it is a growing project that is staying underwraps (invite only, but nothing serious) to avoid negative attention. It doesn't matter if Google/Amazon/Facebook/Whatever blocks you, because you're hermetically sealed off from (((the world wide web))) down to the fundamental TCP/IP level. There are projects, cjdns being one, where the entire domain name system (which is one company in America, a federal reserve situation) is replaced with a peer to peer, distributed, encrypted networking protocol. Even if they physically cut the backbone of the internet in an attack on the common public, cjdns would allow for people with wifi to create their own internet amongst themselves, one that would gain strength with scale.

Now let's bring this concept to the present reality. Here we have a self-healing, self-organizing internet system that systemically removes the ability to spy on users or to censor anyone by the nature of its design. This system is a result of the combination of recent advances in encryption, machine learning, and the explosive growth of the internet. What this means is that if everyone started using this system, ISPs will go extinct.

I'm going to wrap it up here, but a final point to consider is the havoc DARPA funded social media and targeted internet has wracked upon society. Assange is dead, Snowden was probably a limited hangout, and YouTube is molesting your kids, this is the matrix. And, as far as I can tell, this is the only way out with technology.
