[Freedombox-discuss] Persistent Personal Names for Globally Connected Mobile Devices

[nathan nolast]

i think your just pointing out one of the many already stated issues with
centralized services, and how big brother doesnt like to lose control of its
censorship and monitoring platform. We already see this happening, countrys
blocking sites and services because they conflict with their specific laws
ect ect.


You could only be held to these standards if they could backtrace a
connection or route the data took from point a to point b. IE the need for
anonymous data transfers/connections/ect

We have a big responsibility, and duty to protect the Internet as a vehicle
for free speech. No matter the material, nature, or legality. we cant cherry
pick what types of services and material we will accept as free speech and
block what we find offensive or illegal based on one country's set of laws.
