Hey everyone, I'm new here but all this news about age verification and data privacy got me thinking about how the Internet itself works and how we connect.

I recall hearing somewhere that a town in the US created a city run internet provider and it significantly increased speeds and lowered overhead, as well as provided more of a voice to its users.

How would you go about implementing this from the technical side? I figure it would be an uphill battle politically, but I don't see a lot of good alternatives in this day and age. I love the idea of I2P and Yggdrasil, but as a matter of user accessibility, they take at least some technical experience and time to set up.
