    Assuming we could build a new internet from the ground, what would be the solution? IPFS for load-balancing?

      There is no technical solution that will stop corporations with deep pockets in a capitalist society

      what would be the solution?

      Simple, not allowing anonymous activity. If everything was required to be crypto-graphically signed in such a way that it was tied to a known entity then this could be directly addressed. It’s essentially the same problem that e-mail has with SPAM and not allowing anonymous traffic would mostly solve that problem as well.

      Of course many internet users would (rightfully) fight that solution tooth and nail.

        Proof of work before connections are established. The Tor network implemented this in August of 2023 and it has helped a ton.
