📜 Internet Manifesto

We have come to a precipice where the state of the internet is uncertain. Telecommunications companies and our current government work hand-in-hand to extract our creativity, our digital profile, and interactions we have online — to spy on us, surveil us, and bombard us with targeted advertisements in the name of freedom to explore. Our data is now for companies and governments to profit from us and monitor the things we say and do online.

Our Technocrat Overlords at Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft have consolidated their control over critical infrastructure creating unlimited dependency on their services, yet providing no comfort for us common folks as to ownership of our data and privacy concerns.

Right now, the internet is uncertain because we don't know where it will be in the next 10 years or what it will evolve to.

I have created several principles that we should aspire to in this new realm of cyberspace:

• 1
  The internet should be a place where all individuals are free to express themselves without fear of backlash.
• 2
  Misinformation and the spread of falsified news are not allowed! Those who use the internet for malicious reasons like spreading fake news shall be banished.
• 3
  No hate is allowed — only critiques that are within reason, and you must answer why to your position.
• 4
  Companies must disclose their intentions with our personal data — i.e. user backend information, digital profile, and their intention using them or who they give that information to.
• 5
  A more secure cookies network.
• 6
  The spread of educational resources to everyone — like online books.
• 7
  You must disclose every time you use AI to generate content.
• 8
  A free internet without government or corporations — just individuals and community.
