So, you have an objection to the net evolving into a technocratic class system?
Well, yes. To the extent that tools remain the province of the elite, it is politically easy to take them away from that elite.
The cypherpunks welcome message (Eric Hughes, I suppose) seems to apply here:
Cypherpunks acknowledge that those who want privacy must create it for themselves and not expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant them privacy out of beneficence.
So a cypherpunk strives to construct an effective technical defense against the tyranny of the majority so that it is not ``politically easy'' to deprive him of his privacy. John E.
