Gregory's Server@deriamis @estrapade @ajsadauskas on the early nineties a lot of people didn't see enabling "corporatized presence" being all that valuable on the Internet. Fortunately though, the web didn't prevent it, either.

 @osma @estrapade @ajsadauskas @osma @estrapade @ajsadauskas I don’t dislike commercial entities on the Internet. I simply don’t want to be required to give them control over my online identity. I also don’t want them to have a monopoly over what information I can access. Capitalism isn’t necessarily evil, but its goals are often in tension with what would be good for society as a whole. I don’t want a world where the only choice is what makes someone else money.  @deriamis @estrapade @ajsadauskas well in that case we're in agreement. As far as implementation, I'd like to see a return to self-owned domains. I think identities are in general valuable and would prefer people to not only have more control over theirs, but responsibility over the outcomes, too. |
@deriamis @estrapade @ajsadauskas before commercial interests required it, there were no standardized and generally supported means to encrypt any transaction of information either. You may not like the concept of having commercial entities on your Internet, but you wouldn't have one without them.
