The Web began dying in 2014. André Staltz writes about how and why. In a nutshell, traffic from mobile and tablet devices now surpasses that from regular desktop computers and of that traffic the overwhelming majority goes to either Faecebook or Google. Amazon is also in there. None of them have any interest in defending the open Web any more. Rather the situation is the opposite, they are aiming to carve out a section and establish very isolated walled gardens. Net Neutrality, or the lack thereof, lie at the heart of their plans based on the direction they have moved since 2014.

    This is why it's important to create unsafe spaces. People that have always been coddled and never forced out of their safe zone are often shockingly naïve and willfully stupid. Someone needs to love your cousin enough to look him in the eye and tell him to quit being a lazy, stupid fucktard.

    Mmmm... create unsafe spaces... How about you hack the cousin's FB acount, vandalize it well, redirect all auth to /dev/null (no way to recover the account)? Would that be unsafe enough?
    Or would it result in a total mental meltdown, catatonia for a period followed by nightmares and PTSD to the end of the life (which may come in a short time, by means of suicide)?

    No, seriously, I only ask to get myself an idea how high the level of FB addiction is among the younger generation.

    I don't know by how much. I'm 53, I expect he is 56 or so.
