What would it take to create a new fully anonymous internet? Is it just the DNS servers that's keeping us in the past, or are there other methods?
I honestly think the current state of of the internet, even if you aren't doing anything illegal, has made it a breeding ground for normies that drag everyone down.
Imagine how many problems could be solved if someone in a large pharmaceutical company could leak the cure to several fatal cancers without repercussions? All this government secrecy? Same thing. Those in government would have to disconnect their illegal operations and not work so closely with their benefactors as they do now.
I wonder how many technological breakthroughs have been put on the backburner, or bought out, that we'll never know about until 2050, because sharing those ideas online with those who could use the information would be bad for the big businesses.
Speaking of which, if big business lost its ability to track everyone online, they'd have to move their practices back to physical stores. Rather than using 24/7 market research to predict everything we'll buy before we buy it, then jack up the prices.
All in all I think a fully anonymous internet (for everyone, not just those paranoid enough to buy VPN) would be beneficial for the world. We already know it works, because prior to the huge efforts to track everyone using the current incarnation of the net, we essentially were fully anonymous and without consequence online.

There's lots of conspiracies out there but that's not one of them.
Think about it, do you really think Big Pharma could form a consortium of companies to keep that suppressed? Of course not, because the first company that brought it to market would make a trillion dollars and be hailed as heroes. Everyone would have an incentive to cheat on the conspiracy.
You're correct that strong anonymity for everyone would be a great thing, and that there certainly are many cases of unconscionable surveillance conducted by both business and government these days. But the stupid bit about "Well they know all the cancer cures and shit, they just keep it secret!" really detracts from your argument.

Then ignore that part of the argument if you don't agree with it. There are lots of secrets worth a lot of money out there that somehow stay hidden. Maybe it's only small privately funded labs. Or maybe cancers themselves are manufactured. I don't care if that aspect doesn't end up being true, I care about the big picture.
It worries me that the only people working on trying to advance the technology behind the internet were some of the very same who created their foundations. And those old fucks are dying out with no one to replace them.
