In these seven years however, I have learned that community means more than I ever thought. Community means getting together to help raise funds to improve the pool.

This article will focus on those technical aspects, in an attempt to help spread knowledge about what happens when a public resource is unjustly subjected to regulation by an entity looking to further an agenda. First let’s recap on how the internet works as a whole, as...
