Basically: Would you rather have like a year (or so) of your life being able to browse the internet unrestricted, but you have to live the rest of you life never having access to those thing ever again. And you cannot save anything, meaning: no datahoarding (except in your brain).
OR
Just never know about the free unrestricted internet in the first place?
(I personally would have trouble dealing with the FOMO)
Use that year of unrestricted Internet in order to find… alternative to the filtered Internet and when it’s time to give up on that tasty freedom, move away from the Internet completely focusing on and using only the alternative(s) I will have found?
Carrier Pigeon Network? 😅
Maybe (it could be fun) but I would first consider more readily available things.
Things like meeting people IRL and also snail mail… Those are much slower and much more limited in the number of people I can meet but 1) I don’t need to meet millions of people 2) they’'are also all usage that are protected by many laws, that are not constantly spied upon, and that are not ‘enshitiffied’ by marketing & businesses and their endless greed either ;) Edit: they’re also much less prone to trolls and haters, or moronic ideas spreading: it’s harder to lie in the face of someone, or to insult them than to do it safely hidden behind one’s keyboard ;)
And like I said, I would use that full year of free unfiltered search to find alternatives that, by their nature I wouldn’t know they exist already.
The issue here would be to think that the Internet is everything. It is not. It was not (in the past) and it will not be (in the future).
At least it won’t be for as long as we’re physical beings and not just some digital avatars of ourselves ;)
