Web Foundation launches internet hippie manifesto: 'We've lost control of our data, it is being used against us'

Oh Homer

We already have the solution

Two words: self hosting.

The bigger problem is not that the internet is being censored, spied on and sold to spammers, but that users just passively accept this abuse, whine about it, but ultimately do nothing about it, even though there is a solution.

They just don't like the fact that the solution requires them to make an effort, learn something new, and abandon existing commercial infrastructures, because their sheep mentality herds them towards what's "easy" and "popular", two considerations that are apparently more important to them than such trivia as free speech and privacy.

Oh well, apathetic people get what they deserve.
