the new world order is megacorps being the only ones technically & legally competent enough to manage to the thousands of varying laws about.
cyberspace alas quickly lost it's high ground, stopped being for the user, for frontiers, & became a tool for control, manipulation, & survelliance, during a vast information-economy colonization of this possibility space. alas this means we've closed the frontiers, are now making the digital space far more constrained. and we're doing that in dozens of different jurisdictions, hundreds, thousands. now to do anything in cyberspace you need to understand & choose your way again and again amid whatever contexts the world wishes to throw at you.
this post is a victory lap. we did it: we can data share & ooerate internationally, and we think we're good with all the law enforcement types. we can send them what we have to, there are procedures now for all the countless asks we get.
we really need some p2p & user-sovereign internet capabilities to advance. this post pointing out the closing window of possibility, how much harder operations are. when ran by companies, at scale, not people, exercising their rights & navigating their ways. the window is closing as we demand enhanced mechanization of mass-scale information processing. society cannot/ought not shut pandoras box like this, trap us in a status quo of big powers able to comply in thousands of places, unwilling & unable to let out real freedoms & liberties, actively slamming Pandora's box closed, trapping hope.
