That being said, I would suspect that any system which permits absolutely zero recourse against things done with it that a super majority of citizens considers abhorrent is a system that will not be long tolerated and thus will not long exist. What then is a useful model of recourse?
A super majority of citizens are, by definition, insane. The purpose of any decent anonymity system is to give the slender, sane minority a fighting chance--and by extension, the human race. https://medium.com/@toholdaquill/the-triumph-of-nonsense-b38b70ab1bfd

Why on earth is willing public acquiescence a desirable quality in an anonymity system? Fuck their recourse. jmp
