Apparently there are a number of easy-to-describe improvements which could be made to the TOR protocol
Perhaps. Though I think tor's basic design and inertia may be unsuited to GPA resistant mods, such that new project[s] would be better ground for trialing that. Doesn't mean that current nets can't be drawn from.

For quite some use cases, just not all use cases. Yes, that's why I said a "net positive".
I've argued for years that the invention of the Internet will eventually be seen as a very slow-motion suicide by government.
Gov's don't self suicide. Usually, that's true. The most obvious counter-examples today include Venezuela and Greece. There is a difference, albeit small, between a government taking an action to deliberately kill itself, as opposed to a government taking an action will will eventually cause that government to be killed. To a first approximation, both amount to "suicide". However they may piss other folks off, who then rise to kill them. I include that kind of event as being "suicide". Jim Bell
