There has been a long term plan underway to close in on the internet. To herd users to centrally controlled platforms and destroy independent providers.

First it started in earnest back in the early 2000s when SPAM started appearing and became unmanageable. This herded users and businesses alike to move on to large provider platforms like yahoo, gmail, msmail, et al. After all it was a "free" service and it solved the annoying SPAM problem. This was an engineered effort to herd the majority of people on to their systems over an extended period of time. It was a resounding success. Now they "have it all". Every email you send and receive is archived, used for AI learning, monitored and logged. They can then mine this data to develop profiles on every single end user. They can also steal valuable data. After all YOU accepted THEIR "Terms of Service".

After they captured the majority of email, they then moved on to user content. Are you hosting your content on your own private server? Of course not. You are using a public platform where you accepted another "Terms of Service" agreement. Now they have all or most of your valuable content which you probably don't even have a backup of anymore.

Then they moved to the "cloud" which is just a marketing term for server platform and you started backing up your computers there. Now they have EVERYTHING on your personal computer and yes, once again, you agreed to their "Terms of Service".

The latest push was to capture businesses. Corporations and small businesses have moved their IT operations over to "cloud" mega server farms owned and operated by google, amazon, etc. After it is SO cost effective. So all business proprietary content, data, operations, etc., has been outsourced to these tech conglomerates. Again, available for them to mine, steal, and monitor, and control and under their "Terms of Service".

We are fast approaching the end game here. I own and operate a private openBSD server. Have been doing so since the late 90s (back when the internet was free). I am now seeing my email which is run on my server being blocked and blacklisted by google, yahoo, verizon, etc. Their excuse is SPAM. Although I have implemented and configured the email server using security validation schemes like DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework), TLS (Transport Layer Security) which are DNS and security mechanisms to prove you are a valid authenticated email server. Today, it doesn't really matter. They just add you to a SPAM blacklist and you are slowly marginalized and separated from the rest of the world.

It is getting more and more difficult to email friends and business clients as they are ALL on some mega email platform. @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @outlook,com, @hotmail,com, @verizon.com, etc. More and more emails are bouncing.

I bet everyone ready this email does NOT have their own email server account. "If it's for free, it's for me".

Congratulations, we have ALL walked right into a trap. We are ALL on their farm, and have enabled them to conquer and control the internet by our tacit consent clicking on the "Accept Terms of Service" button.

Applause all around. The internet of Freedom has ended.

Peace
