Essentially, I'm not seeing the upside in assuming any state will always be good, forever and always. And it boils down to what's been discussed earlier: centralizing control of the Internet, whether political or technical, makes it less robust to failures and more prone to abuse/attack, as the value of a single point or target increases.
In this, we completely agree. And as an aside, governments will always believe that that they can control the flow of information, when push comes to shove. This has always been a hazard, and will always continue to be so. As technologists, we need to be cognizant of that fact. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFNS57lq1pz9mNUZTMRAlnAAKDoz15jmBf/N54958iUDbysbDPWkwCgx42x TAOZkWP+Dq0aOe7qzOB8WvQ= =rEH0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
