Rebuilding The Internet From Scratch

Good luck trying to rebuild the internet from scratch. Having said that, I sure wouldn't mind an "us" and "theirs" internet where we could leave all the undesirables (spammers, scammers, the NSA, etc.) behind. smile

The internet is neither neutral nor private, in case you were in any doubt. The US National Security Agency can reportedly collect nearly everything a user does on the net, while internet service providers (ISPs) move traffic according to business agreements, rather than what is best for its customers. So some people have decided to take matters into their own hands, and are building their own net from scratch.
