Do you live in future? Today is 08.05.24.

“You maybe will be able to use advertised bandwidth. As long as we want. Or maybe not.”

No, I am talking about ISP plans ads.

Ours usually busy with censorship

USSA.

Cats. Internet is about cats.

Try watching videos over I2P. 64 kbps average.

More than 6 gigabytes per second

For context 16 petabytes per month is about(slightly more than) 6 gigabytes per second. Also internet was designed during times when computers were super expensive and 100% utilization was norm.

The problem ISPs ask to pay BOTH for bandwidth and for packets. Which is double payment.

As I understand FCC deals with ISP ads too

Last time it didn’t help.

At least yoi are not at mercy of managment company. I don’t know how in USSA, but here before ammendments to Communication Law, you had to initiate general homeowners meeting and vote to allow ISP to place their equipment in condo/multi-flat unit/whatever you call it. The hardest part was not getting votes for it, but getting enough people to vote.

Who are those 2 people?

WhatsApp wasn’t the first to open up but that makes sense given it has a few billion active users and an open E2EE encryption protocol is really difficult to implement.

It’s rather easy. Especially if you deal with 1-to-1 chats. S/MIME exists since 1995 and it’s not even first E2EE protocol. Like PGP. Double Ratchet E2EE proto that is used in signal, wa and matrix was created in 2013 for Signal. Although Olm(Matrix) uses sligtly different cryptoprimitives from Signal, WA and OMEMO proto.

Right, forgot about them.

US is not sane country

because they are based on another person’s copyrighted material.

Then everything is fair-use because everything is based on another person’s copyrighted material.

if someone is selling the fics, that person is violating the copyright of the original author (but not necessarily that of the fic author).

Also not true. Copyright protects form, not content. If you publish content in another medium(for example oroginal was cartoon and you publish book), then no sane country’s court will rule against you because another medium is good proof that work is not even just modified form.

Maybe. Still WA seems the only messager EU cares about.
