You know how they say you die twice, once when you physically pass away, and again once your name is spoken for the last time? The Internet is kinda like that, in the sense that it dies multiple times, I'd say it's died 3 times.

The first death of the web was when smart phones were invented. Smart phones made the web no longer a place you went, but a norm in life, they encouraged minimal flat design and killed off small websites where now 5 social media titans take up the majority of the web's "human" traffic.

The second death of the web was when AI LLMs became mainstream. These LLMs taking and gorging off the entire web and spitting it back out, exponentially increasing the size of the web with little substance and human interaction. The majority of the web is now bots, crawling and ingesting information.

The Third and likely final death, the true death of the web was when the EU passed the Online Safety Act. The moment that bill was put into place requiring the collection of user's IDs has spurred governments and private corporations into overdrive for passing bills and enforcing rules to censor the web and invade on your privacy. While true anonymity was never real, these bills have completely stripped away any sense of privacy you had. Big Brother is watching, closer than ever. He wants to know everything you do, he wants to "protect you" from yourself, or getting any radical ideas. This is only the start of a campaign to completely police the web and criminalize basic human privacy. You can't say anything controversial or make negative statements about your governments.

The worst part is, many will grow up in this web. They will think this is the norm, they won't know that the web was once a place of creativity, or privacy, a place where you could be, say, or do almost anything. They will live in a restricted, restrained web that demands obedience. The web is a husk, the people you once knew are gone, the website you once loved are shells of there former selves, and the eyes of the hungry tigers are watching you, waiting for you to make




...fight back as much as possible, the internet has been dead for years, but the memories are still there, but they won't be for much longer if the information is redacted and censored.
