I dearly wish there was public-sector internet that was governed by the same rules as the post office. Stay within the law and nothing happens to you, violate the law and get arrested.

You think that would be a viable option? One half of the country thinks that we don't need to hand over internet in the hands of Gov. The other half wants to abolish SCOTUS. But in spirit, if it works well like the post office, I am onboard with that idea. The other idea would be to pass laws that make what Cloudflare is doing illegal.

  The internet is global, some individual countries might have faults with their government, but the idea as a whole could be viable. It would need to be managed by a supranational, non-partisan, multipolar entity.

    Oh god, I hope you don't mean WEF kind of an entity. On other note, I expect ICANN to become political in a few years, observing the way our institutions are failing, both domestic and international.

We have something even better than that! The Internet is decentralised, no matter how much CF tries to pretend it isn't. Just choose not to use services like CF.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that KF did violate the law, mainly through harassment. Of course the law couldn't give two shits protecting random citizens from (so-called) "non-violent", non-property crime.

  KF is a shitty place full of shitty people and its members almost certainly violated the law. But they didn't do it on Kiwi Farms. You can't harass somebody by posting comments on your own website. If "conspiracy to harass" is a crime you could commit that, but I've read page after page without seeing that and I haven't seen any screenshots of it that weren't reported and removed either.
