summary

Argues the web is now a set of silos with Google and Facebook handling ~75% of requests by 2019, IPv4 limiting direct addressing to ~4.3 billion entities, and IPv6 adoption only ~30%. Shows working alternatives: IPFS, Beaker/DAT, secure scuttlebutt social logs, and Matrix federation with bridges and multi-device end-to-end encryption. Presents PhD finding of 21 adoption influences, urges practical steps — demand /48 or /56 prefixes, run Tor services, repurpose old phones as mesh nodes — and reports mesh can reach populations where 41% currently lack Internet.
