As the resources get scarce or are more and more expensive you will see the internet shrink into walled gardens that squash free speech. Those that are in charge will play the game of Red Team Blue Team as they sell out their populations and justify more and more invasive policies. As government regulation is crippled to the point of pointlessness, there will be nothing that will protect us from being hacked by corporations. The internet one day will be seen as a form of tyranny with no real material practical use. It will become our chains. There is no separation between political science and the internet since it is the flow of information, the ability to rewrite history or to censor the present. There’s just a lot of naive people out there that just want to cope so they can get their treats as they roll their eyes thinking people that wine and cry about the internet are Overacting because they think that they are safe. It is the background processes that keep us all where we are. It is the bureaucracy of tyranny where the only ones that are accountable are the ones that can’t afford freedom. This is the era or the beginning of techno-futalism. The background processes will create voids of accountability where anyone, for any reason, can become the enemy, and the mob could be sent on that person. Kinda like the Wizard of Oz. in the era of reactionary nonsense, There will be no arms to join. No good guy or bad guy. The world of today is the victory of the most anti-social. There is no opposition. No real serious opposition. If you were ever to be called to action, it would be for a unserious endeavor. It is all about rallying the base to heighten the fear to push legislation that is tyrannical. To corner the market and crush competition by giving things away, that were even yours to give away.

It should be pretty clear from this that people do not understand the need for a company that makes a browser to have a ToS. If Thunderbird is made by the same company but doesn’t have a ToS but has more valuable information in it (it’s an email client) then clearly Mozilla isn’t doing the shady things that people are saying they are. If they were they would have started with the gold mine of emails which are a better source of user data than any browser related data. But they didn’t.
