@benpate So what they are building is actually a way to later enforce censorship of a decentralized network by state actors.

@phnt @benpate the kill-bill siren would start ringing in my head, the moment they offer to base the decision to federate or not to federate upon content-scanning, i.e. when the "automated content detection auxiliary service providers" (what a truly fucked up name) gets turned into CAs that are asked to sign off on posts, and only signed posts get to be displayed.
we're truly losing the plot.

@k4t3 @benpate Thankfully the network is now diverse enough that you can just say no and disconnect from them. Arguably nothing of value would be lost. That said, the issue of it being legally mandated is still present. When and if that comes, overlay networks like Tor and I2P are the only option I guess. Besides slow packet radio.
