Yes, these things are inconvenient. Meaning they are achievable items but at some personal cost and effort. They are not insurmountable.
You’re not getting it. It’s not achievable.
Pre-web:
cost of posting a letter to the secretary of state: 55¢
filing a lawsuit for $200: $90
return: $289.45 ← achievable because this is a positive number
Post-web:
cost of travel to Washington DC: $400
filing a lawsuit for $200: $90
return: -$110 ← unachievable because this is a negative number
Do you understand the math? Pre-web, it was possible to sue a corporation for $200 and recover $199.45 of that. Post-web, that is insurmountable. If you try, you lose even if you win the judgement. Post-web, the only way to win that case is to use the web. You are therefore forced to use the web in the US.
And a new browser isn’t going to change anything.
Of course it does. A public option can give sovereignty from US tech giants. Otherwise you have the injustice of a government forcing people not only to use technology but to subject themselves and the people to the influence of surveillance capitalists.
