This (https://www.wired.com/story/geedge-networks-mass-censorship-leak/) has quite a few of us concerned. I know some folks who've basically null routed every network out there that has crawlers (from the Big G all the way down to LLM-scraper-as-a-service companies) so that you can only see anything if you're on a residential network. Some other folks went Tor hidden service-only with their stuff (which makes reading their RSS feeds tricky, to say the least). I don't know how this is going to shake out, but it's not going to be fun for anybody. The Doctor [412/724/301/703/415/510] WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ Get thee down. Be thou funky.
