“Imagine losing internet access because someone in your household downloaded pirated music.”
I’m gonna go to businesses I don’t like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.
This seems like the best strategy realistically. If scotus makes it everyones problem, then make it a problem for those with the most to lose from losing internet access.
Starbucks in particular would have a bad time lol
Nah, then it just becomes a defacto situation of the content creation companies (Disney, Sony, etc) owning the telecom companies. So you will truly be a single content household, like a Disney Household or a Paramount Household.
… And Sean Kennedy’s listener licence becomes just a little closer to reality.
(I know that no one knows who that is, but Tales From the Afternoon was ironically prophetic and well ahead of it’s time. Unfortunately I’m one of a very few people who knows who he is lol)
Wanna push everyone to the dark web? This is how you do it. People will just become obsessed with covering their tracks. You’ll have to rip open countless companies and organizations to get this to work. Fuck 'em. Prying eyes can eat shit and die.
You might be exaggerating people’s technical knowledge, desire to increase their technical knowledge, and / or their desire to effect change.
TOR is easy enough to set up that if you know how to install a program on your computer and run it, you’re good to go. It’s not the ideal way to run TOR, and is still somewhat insecure, but can be done in a few clicks.
Back in the early 00’s, the amount of people learning how to download pirated music safely, arrange and burn a CD with it skyrocketed. Fast forward a few years and people with no real computer skills were learning how to rip and burn DVDs.
I wouldn’t underestimate the potential of people with motivation to circumvent an oppressive system.
Most people won’t run an ad blocker.
Most people don’t know extensions exist. Because they don’t care and have never been shown.
Pissing someone off is a strong motivator for them to start searching though.
