Hell I contribute cycles to a darknet via ChaosVPN.
I see value in them existing in specific use cases.
But the internet as a least common denominator in communication should
remain a free and open communications platform. That's what made it
amazing. That's what changed EVERYTHING.
I don't want to see it fracture. And the DHS / ICE stuff does promote
that. It would be an unequivocal travesty. We would lose so fucking much
if that happened.
