We need to democratize the internet again, every generation there’s a ma bell pretending they own the internet. Current Gen is Google, AWS, Azure and the like, with ISPs just making sure they get their cut.

I don’t have an issue with these services existing, but in such a way that everything depends on a couple companies? Dangerous for everyone.
