If something good is to come out of the riots, maybe after time they’ll be more of a push back against surveillance?
It’s worth noting that in the same time the riots went on 22 protesters were arrested at a power plant, which has mostly gone under the radar.
Recently some protesters got prison sentences of 4 years. One of which was jailed just for being on a Zoom call.
I’m sure some, due to a political view point, will agree with the sentencing, as others with an opposing political outlook will feel the same about the rioters.
For clarity, I’m not a fan of people who smash up mosques because a dark skinned person did something. There’s very specific words for those kinds of people but I don’t want to live in an authoritarian state either.
The only solution I see is that we grown networks like Nostr, the Fediverse, open source and privacy focused tools, self host what we can and try and get our irl friends involved. It’s not easy but over time I hope more people will realise they can leave the walled gardens and enjoy the open internet again.
