    It's not your imagination. Snowden has repeatedly spoken about the dangers of intrusive technologies like the smartphone.

        The internet died around 2008.

        Internet Historian illustrates this succinctly.

        That's why we need traditional values, to go back to the days when we ruined our lives with drugs and alcohol instead. It was a lot more fun, and everyone got laid more.

        Remember something: We all have a high speed Internet connection. You can host any website you desire! You just need to go out and do it.

        We need to re-democratize the net.
