    Sometimes it is unbelievable. They want to make the Internet their own, following their model… luckily there will always be people fighting to keep the Internet free, where anyone can decide, in this case, whether to swallow ads or not

      Google’s move makes the fight much more uphill for freedom fighters. The real problem is the masses of pawns who fail to vote with their feet. Some of them voted with their feet merely because CAPTCHA is inconvenient. Eliminating the CAPTCHA puts these #tyrannyOfConvenience users on the wrong side of the fight.

      Destruction of the Commons is key to capitalism.

      The internet is a huge ripe field to exploit.

      The destruction of the free resource is a consequence of how we organize society.
