No it isn't. A camera on the side of a highway is not the same thing as the highway.

Got a chance to watch this. Really interesting and, frankly, way better than what we have in america.

What was the reaction/resistance to Cuba enacting a few capitalist 'reforms' recently? With how the video describes their system it I would have assumed it would have gotten a ton of pushback.

Not really? Anything you do on a car on a monitored highway can theoretically be monitored. Point is the infrastructure that makes it possible is not the same thing as things that monitor it. Like this isn't some philosophical big brained thing they are just two different things.


a drone? Weird for an anarchist to identify with an entirely rigid collectivist system.

bees are dope as hell and there's nothing i love more than expressing myself through dance, gathering nectar, and laying/following pheromone trails. treat this hive like anarchy could work

if you're really this stuck on the car analogy let me put it like. nsa control of internet hubs isn't like having a camera out on the road it's like having full camera coverage+control of all the signals+the ability to close roads+patrol cars out for enforcement. it's absolute control over that infrastructure by a central authority whether you call it "centralized" or not

That's not what the Utah data center does though. Nor does the NSA HAVE that ability to shut down the internet. The analogy was just explaining that monitoring something does not make it the infrastructure that allows the thing to happen you don't need to take it literally and as data flows a lot more easily than traffic it's even an analogy that is slanted in your favor.

i'm not actually cause i don't even know what that means. the feds totally can and do shut down comms on people all the drat time, this is common knowledge to anyone who's ever actually bumped up against them but here's some authority for you to appeal to with citations and all that https://epic.org/foia/dhs/internet-kill-switch/

So we have gone from the central internet hub is in Utah, to well it's sorta the same thing to well they can shut down cell phones.

"control of the internet and because of that our culture is centralized/held by the rich" is the last thing i remember saying before becoming disoriented by a whirlwind of pedantry and anime refs

I'd like to point out that the internet or at least the modern web is pretty centralized and it's because the US government owns and operates the 20 something root DNS servers, of which even stuff like GoogleDNS are just mirrors of. it would be survivable because there are mirrors and stuff but you could probably shut the internet down for at least a little while by just cutting some power in DC
