Spotify asks for your passport. Reddit wants your selfie. YouTube scans your face.<br/><br/>This isn’t “safety.” It’s #surveillance. And every new database becomes a target waiting to be hacked.<br/><br/>The web was built for openness. Now it’s being rebuilt around checkpoints. No ID, no entry.<br/><br/>The path forward lies in #decentralization. Peer-to-peer networks, encrypted communications, and distributed platforms offer ways to connect without gatekeepers. These technologies restore the internet’s original promise: open access to information and the freedom to communicate without requiring anyone’s permission. The open web is being enclosed behind checkpoints. But technology that prizes #privacy and resists #surveillance remains within reach if we choose to build and use it before the door closes entirely.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f67de7de1933064c447a4fb4bf3df2d7a6d9f316fb37b3cd439b57ca21b5c67e.jpg"> 2025-08-28T12:40:26Z
