Considering the following was the sentiment regarding the internet 30 years ago, yeah, of course the ruling class is ruining it on purpose. Can’t have masses of people challenge Capital, now can we?
This is our world now… the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying
for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn’t run by profiteering gluttons, and
you call us criminals. We explore… and you call us criminals. We seek
after knowledge… and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias… and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it’s for our own good, yet we’re the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can’t stop us all.
