Net Neutrality loss overcome...MAIDSAFE decentralized, encrypted, autonomous Internet 2.0

https://medium.com/@A.Wheel/this-wee-scottish-firm-is-building-a-solution-to-net-neutrality-and-its-completely-autonomous-cd80b4b6d03f

(can't get the above link to show correctly, so copy and paste if you want to see the related article)

This looks very interesting. A P2P internet that is decentralized with no central control, no corporate or government servers. Encrypted traffic so that loss of Net Neutrality becomes moot.

The associated cryptocurrency MAID:

Becoming a part or node is called "farming" and you are paid for providing your computing power to the whole. "The currency (MAID) is the data. The MAIDSAFE Network's currency is data and is secured on SAFE like all forms of data. In essence, the network is the ledger."

there will be a lot of "black-market" ISP's popping up to counterbalance the corporate information funneling. Don't think there aren't things like that in the countries with "state-controlled" internet...

There will always be a way around their system, thank god for hackers/computer coding nerds!
