So the friend small-world thing is purely for the scalable darknet, and the opennet will use something like ngrouting? > We have state level internet censorship? Slight hyperbole perhaps, but the apparatus is there and it seems to be happening. Right now known child porn sites are banned at the backbone/telco level, which is fine, but this shows worrying signs of being expanded. Next on the list is any criticism of a religion deemed to be "hate speech", and porn deemed by some undefined party to be too "violent". The proposed incitement to terrorism stuff is a bit open ended too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4195332.stm OMG, must censor teh internets to protect our children because we have no parenting skills. As for the insinuation that any porn harder than is allowed to be sold in a UK sex shop must be censored, good luck censoring a third of the internet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3871867.stm Scientologists rub their hands in glee as they gain a new weapon.
