This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

... You can just be your own ISP? Is that, like, an actual thing one can do, or more a last ditch hypothetical thing that's technically possible, but realistically not doable?

    Yeah, just like you can run your own SMTP service and exchange e-mail, or... could 25 years ago before the big players froze all the small players out of the big network pool. You can set up your own internet, your own e-mail network, etc. but the Facebooks, Whats Apps, Apples and Googles of the world will lock your internet out of their internet.
