#ReFederateTheWeb

Truly, there is a real problem with malicious web traffic, just as there is a problem with malicious email traffic. Website operators are looking for solutions.

Just like with email, though, the solution is not to hand more and more control to giant centralised unaccountable corporations to squat on increasing portions of what was formerly the #DecentralisedWeb of #OpenStandards.

#ProtocolsNotPlatforms #CorporateSurveillance #ReFederateTheWeb

Parody of the CloudFlare "Just a moment" page. All the text is changed to satirise the corporation's effects on the public web:

"Choking the site connection unilaterally"
"everydamnedsite.com.au chose to obnoxiously interrupt your connection before proceeding."

"Why am I seeing this page?" "Gatekeeping the entire web, by a single unaccountable corporation, seems easier to us than keeping the web useable. Increasingly, you will see this page while CloudFlare gains a de facto chokepoint on the public internet."
