Sackeshi@lemmy.worldOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's more important to you a free internet or your Internet privacy?214·13 days agoYou are paying for the physical infrastructure. Your ISP connects the physical cables to your house/apartment that allow you to access the Internet. Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari… Are the digital portals to the web and search engines let you “serf” the web. We only pay for 1 service the physical. If we banned data we’d pay for at least 2 if not all 3 plus individual sites

Unless you’re on dialup you’re accessing the Internet through a web browser that uses data to pay for the upkeep of the servers
Sackeshi@lemmy.worldOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's more important to you a free internet or your Internet privacy?133·13 days agoIt’s not a false dichotomy, the companies that give us access to the Internet like Google need to make money in one way or another, they sell our user data to other companies which then give targeted ads to us. If we banned the use of user data it would require a monthly subscription
Sackeshi@lemmy.worldOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's more important to you a free internet or your Internet privacy?112·13 days agoWe pay an ISP because they have to maintenance on a massive physical structure to keep running properly. We do not pay for the Internet, some websites charge money but Google and the general web is free to use.
Ideally the same government that implemented the removal of at will would also implement state level single payer.
Unions would be more of an outside thing where guilds would form instead to help get favorable Contracts for specific fields which would probably work better. Imagine each industry including service and retail had a “guild” that would handle contracts and decide minimums via member votes
Edit: 5 years of stability sounds amazing imo
