[Noisebridge-discuss] DHS/ICE seizing domains

[Matt Joyce]

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.
