Perversely, the biggest threat to Internet Security is most welcome for SRians, for the following reason:How many people are going to start using technologies like offshore seedboxes, BitTorrent, Bitcoin and the anonymizers I2P and Tor?A lot! Most people will put their hands up because they are easily cowed by technocrats and authoritarians. But the Darknet shall expand enormously as a result of these trends. PGP Club shall be bigger than ever before.And ultimately the holy grail of anonymity systems shall eventually occur. Somebody will figure out a way to combine anonymizers and BitTorrent at the Network level instead of the Application level. Then we win.End Result: More anonymity for us all.--Similarly, Pine loves Internet sales taxes. I hate taxes, but not (so much) those ones. Why? Because the natural result is a huge increase in international shipping services of all kinds, from virtual offices to virtual lockers and more. A whole eco-system develops to avoid taxation, and we will be right at the heart of it. Ultimately within a decade it'll lead to decentralized postal delivery systems using drones in private hands.So don't feel down friends! The world is getting worse in terms of freedom, but not for our bank balances!Having said all that, I would prefer to have more freedom for everybody rather than more money, but that choice isn't being made by me, it's being made for me by the governments of the world.
