I'd be happy to be wrong, but this new obsession some countries have with creating their national web infrastructures sounds too much like a trap to localize everyone's data and make it easily accessible for government institutions and improved surveillance, and potentially increase censorship as well since a local infrastructure (depending on how it's done) could allow for disconnection from the outside web. China, Iran, Russia already did it for these exact purposes, why would I trust others to do it "for the greater good"? Anyone else share this feeling?
