A far more intelligent solution is for an international conglomerate to form a true alternative to the Internet, that works exclusively by uncensored satellite transceivers. Up links and down links would be carefully controlled so that no government involvement is permitted.
Likely it would piggyback on the Internet as well, but as a means to leech, not upload. This means that the non-data window dressing of the system can be handled by the Internet, with only the restricted information being handled by the satellites.
For example, every part of the Free Republic that was not text would be transmitted on the Internet, and the Satellite would do only the text, and your computer would put the two together.
So all any snoop would see would be the blank FR home page, unless they could tap in to and decrypt the encrypted satellite down link.
As a controlled system, there would be no advertisement or spam, hacking, censorship or surveillance.
Since most of the Internet is “ordinary”, that is where users would spend most of their time. But any time they wanted to discuss sensitive things that others would interfere with, they activate the down link.
Interesting!!!
"Up links and down links would be carefully controlled so that no government involvement is permitted."
One can say this only as a joke. You have only those rights that you can defend. If the Chinese government decides to "get involved" in your scheme, who is going to stop it and how?
