I, for one, believe that the net is unstoppable -- and that no attempt to censor it will work in the long run (or in the short run), short of making networking computers illegal and unpopular. If people want to communicate, they will -- it's no different than day-to-day conversation in realspace: you can't monitor an entire world of individuals, short of pretty hefty AI -- even with no encryption. It's going to be a long and bloody process while people figure this out, though, and I'm not sure how recognizable our society will be once the message gets through. I'm considering moving to New Zealand for the duration. Or at least Texas. [But I'll need money first. Buy some e-books. :)] -- L.
