> the web is a giant network of interlinked computer programs, none of which can be trusted Agreed, but Gemini does address the problem of surveillance. All metadata are still leaked: IP addresses, DNS queries, FQDNs in the TLS session opening. Also timing attacks. Furthermore, there's nothing that Gemini can do to prevent unofficial extensions, e.g. browsers detecting and loading HTML/CSS/javascript found on a Gemini page. |

That's the problem with the current iteration of the internet. If you run a Gemini-based hidden service, they go away.

That's the problem for the client to take care of. Those clients that aren't built with web technologies are unlikely to be subject to accidental web technology execution.
