isn't the fundamental reason we lost control of our data because of the design of the web? Domain name registration, IPv4 and NAT makes it difficult to serve your content.

technically if you run your own server you serve your data and you own it. People can scrape and steal/copy it, but its illegal and harder to make the bigbucks (well with the AI gray area)

But I cant easily for-dummies run a software on my computer that serves my IG/Facebook-equivalent data. Furthermore all the experts told me for decades hosting is dangerous. Its bad and the hackers are going to steal my precious bodily fluids

So of course i just let Facebook/Googphabet host it and see some ads. What harm can come of that /s

i think Tor solves all of this, but i dont really know. It feels like stuff like Solid isnt necessary
