Even the hosting companies are turning against us. Next the ISPs will start cutting people's hard lines so their home servers go dark. Better call Elon Musk for access to Star Link lol.
This really worries me. The spirit of the argument for Net Neutrality was that the ISPs wouldn’t be allowed to do this, or to throttle you to the point your website is inaccessible. No idea where it stands now. I agree that it shouldn’t be managed by unelected bureaucrats at the FCC, but I believe Congress should pass a law mandating that ISPs must be common carriers to the extent that they can’t turn you away or censor you for free speech, if this isn’t already a law.
Don't quote me but ISPs may be classified as utilities and thus can't cut service unless you are violating the law. Nazis and KKK can't have their power or water shut off just for political ideology. Keep in mind this is Clown World now and new rules may apply!
Good point, censorship proof money is the answer. Bitcoin as of now is the most secure and most censorship resistant currency in existence. Unless you want to pay your bills in gold and silver.
What if StarLink evolves into a parallel global network for free speech as the ISPs start cutting service to wrong-thinkers, and eventually refuse to route traffic from StarLink's network?
Star Link probably doesn't have the bandwidth to handle current internet traffic. Lets just hope it doesn't come to that or we might all be screwed. I don't want to pin all my hopes on Musk either.

They'll just "un-bank" you so you cannot pay your ISP. Easy.
