Cloudflare and Meta team up to invent a proprietary crypto algorithm that fixes everything but routes all traffic through their servers, centralizing the internet completely. All speech is controlled and monitored by this new entity, which receives a national security letter thereby merging it with the US government for all intents and purposes, but, like, you know, for our safety.

Nobody notices or cares what has happened, and critics are met with "well it dOesN'T mATteR because they aren't using the information for anything bad."
