This was never the open internet. You can't send a direct packet to another person without intermediaries and cloud systems. You can barely host a website from your personal computer, most cannot. This internet is as they say sold out.
Look, even EFF supports section 230 [0]; btw, EFF is a total sell out operating as a feel good, ideological protector. All they do is swindle the "engineering culture" into pushing these things onto the world.
