Cool, go live on an island and stopping using the infrastructure we all pay for or grow up and accept that we have shared infrastructure that needs to be maintained and paid for by everyone collectively.

  You do realize the types of organizations that originally created the internet, right? Hint: It wasn’t private companies.

  The internet was literally started as a government research project paid for with taxes...
  - sneak 4y ago
    Yes. And then the modern internet we use today was built a different way.

      No. It was built on* publicly funded infrastructure and subsidies paid for by our taxes.

  >"Somehow" Be more specific. We have it due to government funded projects and subsidies that built the infrastructure that let's people actually use the internet. Then of course there's the tax-funded programs that created the internet in the first place.
