I doubt that but website owners that implement it might receive enough death threads to reconsider I guess, it's the internet after all.

I’m not recommending death threats, but maybe hit them wheee it really hurts. Everyone quit using the internet for a week or two. And I do mean everyone around the world. Hell we survived quite well without the internet until the late 80’s, we have the knowledge, so let’s use it.

Oh please. Did you learn nothing from the reddit "protests"?

the average user doesnt give a fuck until it affects them, personally. And then they'll blame someone besides the problem for it, and double down and continuing to support bad things.

Oh I know it won’t happen. It’s just a pipe dream. But that would be the only way to stop the problem. We, as a society, rely too heavily on the internet. Someone would always have an excuse to be on it

99% of internet users don't care. Sad, but true.

Very true. They bitch about privacy and anonymity but don’t want to be truly proactive about it properly
