RE: Could The Internet Be Set To Be Shut Down On The Eve of Jubilee, October 1st?
This is a bit of an extreme position. What probability would you put on the UN shutting down the Internet?
I like most of your work, but this one is a bit much ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i believe they will do it even if it is just for 1 day, just for the fact that they can, they would not hesitate!
I am sure Turkey's Government Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be happy with that! :)
Haaa nice
:)
As I said, they are capable of ANYTHING.. so it is just important to be aware of it and plan accordingly.
Exactly! It is always wise to plan for the worst, buying Physical Gold & Silver is your insurance!
It's all over if the un gets it.
I agree. I'm as much against the forces of centralization and government meddling as the next guy, but this seems a bit alarmist. Surely the Internet as a whole does more good than harm to the Powers That Be. And even if they did want to shut it down, it would take a global coordinated effort on a scale the world has never seen before. Probably the best that can be accomplished is some form of censorship like China's Great Firewall.
Personally, I'm betting on Ethereum to provide the backbone of a decentralized Web 3.0 that will be even harder for governments to control. If the Ethereum web takes off, something like ICANN won't even be needed as web addresses themselves would just be accounts on the blockchain. And then there's Maidsafe and Lbry as well which look promising.
