 @loopy pedestrian✍🏿 @:ihavenomouth:  There isn't a centralization fix for the big-I Internet.  This is one of those problems that requires minimal but effective regulation to fix.  Internet access and routing needs to be treated as a utility that can't be shut off for non-criminal customers, same as water and electricity.

(We've got to the point where banks and payment processors need the same constraint, but they'll never agree to it.)

Of course the dipshits in charge are going in the other direction.  The Dems in the US are trying to get the FCC to extend regulatory control, ostensibly to bring back net neutrality.  Except the letter they wrote about it ALSO talks about stopping hate, harassment, etc.
