the Internet golden age of freedom won't be back for the mainstream, it was an artefact of its rapid explosion and the inability of large State players to react in time. We've seen the window between the period when it was below the radar and the period when its threat was recognised but counter-measures were not developed - but that is pretty much over of course there will always be spaces of freedom but they won't be so easily accessible for the average person - or else there will be draconian measures to "correct" that situation the big revelation is that the majority of the people in the "free world" (also euphemistically called "the West") are clamouring for these freedoms to be ended, which is a societal phenomenon one wouldn't have expected 10, 20 years ago... but these changes were coming regardless
