And all service providers/hosts around the world are expected to comply.

Here's one summary of the looming access control measures.

Reading and understanding all this (and the linked sources) feels so.. difficult, obtuse, complex.

It would be somewhat freeing, I imagine. Though, if you were to go hardcore, quick access to knowledge would be the biggest drawback.

Ditching the enshittified parts would probably be easier. Can do offline maps (or paper), purge social media, and use credible sites for any information you might need to look up.

    I doubt it would be 100% completely possible, it was more of a hypothetical thought in its self.

    Knowing most services are reliant on the internet now, such a POS (point of sale) devices in stores, home phones, condo intercoms, buying airline tickets.

    Its would definitely be easier to just stay away or block enshitified parts at the firewall level. Though in some cases even then I find myself using Facebook for its Marketplace only as a example.
