I guess the solution at that point will be to develop a free (foss) internet alternative.

The internet will partition: the corporate internet will be what you say, and the independent internet will be people writing and hosting their own content, like the internet of the olden days. Some of them might interact with corporate services via apis.

The independent internet will be small, but it will be enough. If you want to buy something anonymously, go to a shop and pay cash with your phone turned off.



I'm intrigued by the possibilities offered by decentralized technologies like IPFS and the like. I think whomever can come up with a viable economic model that allows for the sustainable decentralization of web services will change the world.
