I generally agree with you, but there’s a difference between a closed platform, and a platform that prevents you from using any other platforms.



Every platform that has an controlled access point, which to be clear is the entirety of the public DNS system, is by default a closed platform

There do not exist open HTTPS gateways for all of the major internet services such that anyone can connect - They’re *all* mediated by some access control gatekeeper, it’s like one of the core functions of the current Internet routing system is to not allow for infinite anonymous peers like you would see in TOR or other anonymized routing services

You can say that this should be the case or not but it’s just the facts

It’s precisely the same argument as: “We have plenty of water fountains, As long as you look white then you can use them all you want.”
