    Freedom ends where fear begins.

    This rule is archetypal, even pre-civilization. It works on anyone, from top power sovereigns down to animals and infant babies.

    That brings us to the network problem: do internet corporations fear something? Because, if they don't, they are literally free to handle you willfully as they wish.

    Possible solution is indicated in old Russian proverb: Они знают, чего боятся. They know what they are afraid of.
