Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

No doubt. They only have to win once. We have to keep defending our own freedoms against non-stop assault until the end of time.

I'm so tired and disillusioned.

One approach, not ideal by a long shot but one of the easiest, is to only use old devices and old OSes. Things that have been cracked and/or are easy to root.

This is not going to be successful once they demand strong authentication of clients on the server side - the banking apps already do this, you can't have your phone rooted or compromised.

Wait until the authorities will require strong client side authentication for social media sites, news sites, and everywhere user generated content is accepted, tied to official ID issued by the government

Maybe that would be a good thing. Don't get hooked on social media or news that survive on outrage and echochamers, just... enjoy life.
