Indeed, it is time for the new generation of security software. No doubt about it. The paradigm of Tor and I2P style networks is over, we need to move fast too I am afraid. The software we are using now can be replaced by so much better designs that it is kind of scary really. Even GPG is using what RSA and CAST5 by default? Time for some ECDH and AES-256 up in this bitch. The future of anonymity is going to be based on mixes and systems that are "PIR-like", I very strongly believe this. We need to march forward and we need to do it fast, because I don't think the old model is going to last much longer. And indeed I think it is already near its end. CP has been the canary in the coal mine for Tor for a long time. Right now there is not CP on Tor, I think that speaks volumes. However I dislike the idea of revocable anonymity etc. I like the idea of whitelist by design a lot better. As I said before, it shouldn't be about some group picking who can talk but rather about individuals picking who they want to listen to. Any platform that tries to restrict information is something I want nothing to do with. Can't help but disagree with this. Free Speech is good. Free Speech means anybody can say whatever they want, it doesn't mean that you are forced to listen. CP stories being banned is hilarious, but at least DPR lets us have free speech regarding CP which I highly appreciate. This forum is quite libertarian and free speech seems to be pretty accepted here. But the problem is you are thinking in an old paradigm. See, we don't need a group of moderators to tell people what they can say, we need to give people the power to only listen to those they want to while effortlessly ignoring the others. See, I don't care if a forum is full of spam, so long as I can press a button and not have to see any of it. I want people to be allowed to spam, I don't want to censor them. But I don't want them to censor me either, by making it so I can not navigate what I want to through their spam. The answer is not to tell them what they can or cannot do but rather to empower the user so that the user can get to what they want without running into things they don't want. You confuse free speech with some other concept I think. Censorship = telling others what they can say Empowerment = helping others only listen to who they want to Censorship is *always* bad. Censorship is one way to try to solve the problem of spam and noise. Another solution is to let people select to only listen to things they want to, while ignoring the noise. I personally am in favor of empowering users rather than censoring them.
