I'm waiting for the traditional purveyors of DDoS "services" to start offering "AI scraping" as a service.

As someone that works on routing technologies, it's things like this that will eventually start driving #splinternet partitioning of network resources - just to separate legitimate parties from the parasites.

The Internet requires voluntary coordination between engineers, operators, civil society, and governments to function. The alternative is top-down authoritarian control, which leads to a fragmented #splinternet. 4/

@david01928 @EUCommission @ranx @Em0nM4stodon also even if the courts would greenlight this #cyberfascism it would be unenforceable because not even #NorthKorea, "P.R. #China", #Russia, #USA and #UK get their #cyberfascist shite to work despite #Intranet|ting or at least #Splinternet|ting their nation.

In fact, I'd love to do some @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty again…

@itnewsbot that's a test if they can get away with their #Splinternet strategy...

Yep, and this is only the beginning of the full Splinternet invocation.

Remember, this can and will happen to any non-US service now so if you use let's say Nextcloud, Mullvad or Proton for instance, it can get banned as well if the US government makes a "national security" excuse.

Very chilling times.

Remember when we thought the was about separate networks for East and West? I think I’m ok putting all my focus on the and trying to keep the oligarchs (Musk, Zuckerberg, Mullenweg, et al) out of my online life from now on.

Les russes n'ont presque pas besoin de s'isoler eux meme de l"Internet global. C'est l'Ouest qui les isolent!

These groups have actively undermined Western and Ukrainian information sources and instead endorsed Russian narratives and state-sponsored media.〞

On commence avec la fragmentation : « 
L’Internet d’aujourd’hui est-il fragmenté ? » Table ronde.

Est-ce que la censure, la souveraineté, etc, fragmentent l'Internet en plusieurs réseaux ?

cuando la linea de telefono tiene muchas oportunidades, como la oportunidad de ser una url web o direccion de internet; tambien contiene el asuntop parecido con los operadores de red hace un tiempo, por ejemplo, el asunto de las bandas abiertas de telefonos celulares [neutralidad de la red]; en teoria el usuario es propietario de la linea, en la web no se puede comprar, sino que es un alquiler. mas dificultad entre jugadores que dificultad tecnica? .

Signs of the #Splinternet are everywhere, and we have AI—and surveillance-focused business models to thank for that. Many parts of the world are pushing their local regulatory issues harder, and now we are even seeing content fragmentation as large-scale sites are paywalled or not restricted. Surveys of robots.txt and things like Reddit/Google bundling show we are in for lots more #enshitification.

#OpenWeb #BigTech #Interoperability #Splinternet: "If we’re make a serious case for a splinternet, the central plank should be the elimination of massive global platforms like we’ve gotten used to over the past couple decades. Governments will have to use regulatory and legal tools to erode the power and influence of those firms, squeezing their business models by restricting the ways they can use and collect data and enforcing much stronger rules on their operations. Higher taxes wouldn’t hurt either — something the US has been holding up globally for years. Regulation of global firms can be hard when undertaken by a single state on the national level, which is why it’s so important to start building an alliance of states that refuse the binary choice being offered by the United States — and rein in both US and Chinese tech giants with sectoral rules.

At the same time as regulatory pressures escalate, governments will need to think about what alternatives look like. This is where forced interoperability and open protocols come in, as long as they’re paired with regulatory measures and efforts to build public technology. Users will still want to communicate and share things with people they know from around the globe, and they should still be able to do that. But access to those federated services should instead happen through platforms conceived of and developed on the regional, national, or even local level. That will allow governments and communities to exert much more power over how they work and what they deem acceptable on them — instead of leaving it to a global monopoly or a tech-savvy group that has technical skill few other people hold — and given the different rules and cultural contexts of different countries, the choices they make may differ."
