The idea of centralized internet has always been flawed.
WIthout some sort of meshnet, there will always be room for state actors or motivated individuals to splice into fiber cables, or lurk public wifi spots, things of that nature. If we are not in control of the transmission of our own data, the data has no intrinsic integrity beyond public-key encryption. Even with PK, there is still metadata attacks, the potential to just store huge amounts of data to be cracked later. (NSA Colorado)
The solution is to own our data, use strong-crypto, use strong anti-correlation procedures, avoid the creation of metadata, and to remain highly suspcious and aware of what our adversaries (the govt) are up to.
