The web originally was way closer to anarchism and I really miss that. It was a cluster of self-organising communities, little to no intervention from the state, a lot was not profit driven. Same with IRC.

The web was invented at CERN and spread through universities and got taken up by nerds. It could not possibly have been more state sponsored.
