Greg Carlwood expresses skepticism regarding the net neutrality movement, characterizing it as a "buzzword" used to protect a system that is already broken by Deep State surveillance. He mentions Amazon's new VR division, Amazon Sumerian, as an example of the encroaching tech landscape. He argues that the internet is already "killing us" and that public protests like calling congressmen are largely ineffective against the established data collection infrastructure.

Users can access the deep web by downloading the Tor Firefox browser, which creates a secret tunnel that hides activity from Internet Service Providers. Unlike the surface web, deep web sites use .onion domains consisting of random characters and are not indexed by search engines. Entry points like the Hidden Wiki serve as user-edited directories to help people navigate these anonymous bulletin boards and archives.

To maintain anonymity and bypass potential internet "kill switches," users can run the Tor browser from a USB thumb drive on public computers. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) in conjunction with Tor adds a layer of security by hiding the fact that a user is accessing the Tor network from their ISP. Jaeger emphasizes that no single tool is 100% secure, recommending a mix-and-match approach to digital privacy.

Concerns over net neutrality suggest that ISPs may soon throttle or block content based on financial interests, creating a "corralled" internet. Using VPNs and Tor allows users to bypass these restrictions by routing traffic through servers in other countries. Jaeger predicts that commercial attempts to limit the internet will ultimately force more users into the deep web to maintain their digital freedom.
