capypokoymal commented on Internet for the People by Ben Tarnoff
so, the internet, although its research started for us military reasons ofc, it has been created through public fundings, global efforts, with an open-source politics in mind and used mostly for education and research purpose.
then, when its request skyrocketed and the us private sector started being interested, a bunch of politicians said "you know what, we just give everything up to the free market" without any condition and/or restriction whatsoever.
and here we are.
yeah, it might be a common story, but it's always infuriating to read in any shape or form. #eattherich
