Before long the Global North governments are going to realize the fediverse exists, and they’re going to put pressure on it as they’ve done—and continue to do—on corporate social media platforms. They’re the self-appointed deciders of what is mis-, dis-, & malinformation.
I think I understand where you are coming from. Thank you for taking your time in explaining it to me. You can skip the next part as its more of a personal reflection on what you said.
I am kind of an old dog when it comes to the internet and so I forget that people do not think the way I do when it comes to it. For me imperial core nations and their allies are not places where you want to host content that they might want to censor. For that bit I can agree on. They control what is in their borders. For example the Pakistani YouTube BGP incident or the seizure by the US government of .com TLD registered domains. Its like how I know you are always suppose to use a handle and never give away personal info, but I come from an era of the internet where you distrusted things by default. That is old thinking and not the way it works now and has not for a while. Sorry for rambling a bit. I just wanted to ruminate on the past and contrast it to now. Your post gives me that so thanks again.
