The solution has been evolving since 1999, for the seemingly decadent purpose of sharing music and movies. It’s called peer-to-peer, and it can return the Internet to its original purpose (back when Al Gore invented ARPANET) as a decentralized command and control network invulnerable to attack. Home computers are so powerful nowadays they far exceed the capabilities of the mainframe computers of the 1970s. Each PC can be a node, rather than the big iron in a few universities, and P2P, plus public-key cryptography, allows the network to survive any attack, be it from the music labels, Chinese censors, or Russian propagandists.
