How to create a black market for films, art, and other things in the future? (lemmy.world)

I'm just concerned that the government and corporations seem to be planning to destroy the current internet, perhaps turning it into a garbage dump using artificial intelligence, and create a new internet that will require personal identification.

This means that many overly extreme films, etc. may either be banned, or if you watch them, you may be fined for disloyalty or extremism for example.

Forgive my paranoia, but I'm interested in your ideas.

The networking level is solved by Tor and similar, open protocols are still standard at the transport level, and the application layer is served by Linux, the Fediverse and so much more. I think the hardware level is where future efforts are the most needed. That and just resisting the change as much as possible.

(It's not a level of abstraction, but if it was less of a mess crypto would deserve a mention as an authoritarianism-resistant way to keep funding going. Both for whatever future dystopian blackmarket, and for the providers of the infrastructure supporting it)
