I think we're going to need an alternative to the physical infrastructure of the Internet entirely and not just some new protocol, alternate DNS root, or anonymity layer. I think a fully decentralized meshnet would be the best approach. All nodes are interconnected with no middle-men like ISPs or DNS servers. This would make it significantly harder for governments to start meddling with communication.

@brother @Moon I'm not an expert on this, but I think long-range wi-fi routers could be enough to cover large gaps between certain meshes. There are a lot of wireless meshnets in urban areas we just need to find a way to connect them.

@brother @Moon It makes me wonder if there are enough boats and airplanes covering the globe at any given time that they can be used as nodes. HAM radio could be used for intercontinental communication but that is heavily regulated by the FCC.

@brother @Moon Wait, scratch that. I didn't realize that flight companies would never be able to get away with this.

@brother @Moon But with a meshnet, companies will naturally own nodes. Once their computers are connected, they are automatically nodes of the network. And I don't think that any company could ever gain control of a meshnet since every connected user is part of the infrastructure.
