Musk is BS, Web3 is BS, cryptocurrency is BS. Should I go on?

The EU is made up of two types of countries: small nations, and countries that have not yet realized they are small nations. The UK simply has much less leverage in these negotiations than does the EU, and EU will not reward the UK for leaving the common market.

It really isn't a good time for the US to "urge" Canada to do anything. There is no surplus of good will between the countries after Trump's bullying and insults. Canada can make its own decisions.

I heard the warnings in 2000 at Defcon, though I had no direct contact with him.

This ignores decades of history.

A core design principle of the Internet since the beginning has been the "end-to-end principle", which was that the job of the network was to distribute the bits between end points. FCC rules concerning network data go back to the 1960s.

The FCC began rule-making on network neutrality in the mid-2000s, in direct response to various ISPs blocking traffic.

You're seeing this as a technical issue when it is in fact a legal one. In Canada the telecommunications legislation states the principle well:

(2) No Canadian carrier shall, in relation to the provision of a telecommunications service or the charging of a rate for it, unjustly discriminate or give an undue or unreasonable preference toward any person, including itself, or subject any person to an undue or unreasonable disadvantage.

You can still manage networks and employ CDN. But you can't arbitrarily block content.

I don't even know where to start with that thread. It is filled with instances of complete misinformation.

I really don't understand how users there can support something that will probably result in them paying more for Internet access and limiting what they can access.
