Let me put it in simple terms: words have different meanings and are used to describe different concepts depending on the context the word is used in. With me so far? Now take the word ' port '. What does it mean? - when you'

Change ISP, then. Use a mobile ISP. Use Starlink for all I care. Just laying down to accept that and emergent behavior of the internet is to become more centralized is not an option if you want to retain a semblance of 'data freedom&
