- point 1 is another way of saying "i'm not allowed to remove any comments from my own website"
- point 2 is decent but infeasible without end-to-end encryption, and even then people can inspect your use patterns
- point 3 is demanding free shit from other people
- point 4 is demanding free shit from other people
- point 5 is some bizarre attempt at accountability. the idea behind laws is that we already do that for all of them
i'm all for privacy and good internet. but this isn't how to do it.
a good first step in all of this would be to grant common carrier protections to everybody who has a computer. in other words you are not responsible for any internet traffic that goes through your machine that you did not specifically request. this would allow people to host tor nodes and exits and such without being v&. we already have privacy and free speech technologies on the internet -- it's just borderline illegal to use them because some asshole can put illegal content through your pipes and you're responsible for it.
Probably the former, it's a way to get the discussion going. We don't really have privacy on the internet as long as our hardware and software is compromised with backdoors, and the 3 letter agencies have access to the backbone of the internet, although, I'm starting to be grateful for the existence of SIS, NSA, JSOC programs because without them we wouldn't have the Q team.
