Hi Hive account@libertyacademy,

Must thank you for the efforts you have taken to write this exposé, if I may call it that. Although a large part of what you have written would be conjecture at the moment, I must say that given the fact that this is being promoted by solely, if not largely, by the commercial organizations, gives much credence to your arguments.

This prompted me to look and see whether there are any NGO's that could possibly be involved in addressing our concerns here. I couldn't find any such organization that is dedicated solely to the concerns of internet users.

However, it appears that it is possible to address these issues through the internet society whose scope embraces a wider audience than just internet users.

Those interested in a particular internet related cause, could form a Special Interest Group (SIG) under the Internet Society and receive support from them for their cause. Here is the {link](https://www.internetsociety.org/sigs) for it.

Instead of voicing our concerns on a platform like Steemit.com, which I see going nowhere, I would reckon it would be more effective if a SIG is formed to address this issue.

I do not know much about the Internet Society and whatever I have written above is based on my reading of it in last 15 minutes or so. Obviously more research is needed before embarking on a course of action as listed above.

p.s. Thanks to Hive account@crypto.piotr for pointing me to this post.
