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.

To be honest I don't see an easy path to escaping the walled garden in our interactions with big companies and governments (banking, traveling, mainstream social networks, etc.).

But at least we can build alternatives for interpersonal communication and other uses independent from big companies, like the late 90s-early 2000s Internet, and access that with free devices.

If you want the whole commerce in the EU collapse and the CEO's wanting to really hurt and then kill Ursula von del Leyen and the associated lobbies, yeah sure. Let them suicide.

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.

We mostly can't. The most we can do is grow new big companies.

The internet was carefully reorganized so that it's impossible to do anything without money moving around.

CEOs don't seem too bothered about security or the ability to use custom ROMs
