Another thing about usenet that discourages corporate exploitation is the idea that what is written or shared on usenet belongs to the author/creator. What is shared on facebook, reddit, and the other company owned platforms becomes their property as well as the creator's (to do with what they wish,) as soon as you post it. Also, as in the case of reddit and the rest, they will allow you to say what they want. If they don't like what you say then you are out. If a the government tells them they don't like what you say, then you are out. This is about stifling dissension. The large communist countries do it and now the western countries who are moving away form democracy and toward autocracy are intent on doing the same. Nearly all the communication of persons across the planet is now being curated, monitored and controlled by governments and corporations. Neither of which have any interest in people's well being, rather their exploitation for labor and other resources. Fact is, there are literally too many people on the planet and its resources are being exploited, mismanaged and polluted so severely, I see little chance for the human race's long term survival. You know this is true by watching the immense wealth being invested in "off world" exploration. The smart money knows what's up. I wonder where in the universe we will go to next... Any vision along those lines? Jared On Sunday, August 2, 2020 at 10:07:02 PM UTC-6, Pirate For Life wrote: > USENET should not ever be centralized.
