Don't take this the wrong way, but fuck your business model. The internet was supposed to be open and be ours, and you stole it for profit.
The first spam email was sent in 1978. It's been downhill since.
To be honest: you can still make your own website, and in many ways big companies are actually making it easier through open-source projects and stuff like Let's Encrypt. The web industry is remarkably open compared to what big companies do in other industries. A lot of the standards meetings and stuff you can just go to and give your opinion. Or ignore the standards and fork it yourself. This alarmism I fear will make people not take the actually alarming things like encryption bans or ID requirements seriously.
Only for some things, though. If you host your own e-mail these days, chances are, you're going to have a very difficult time sending them anywhere without risking them being deleted, or automatically thrown into spam folders.
True, but sadly that's because of what became a genuine user safety concern
also independent of that, fuck cloudflare
Lol. Yup 100%
