I mentioned the trend, but the point is that's not there yet. There are other countries, which will take a lot of talking to and threat of economic sanctions, before it happens. Trust-based BlackNets are really hard to penetrate -- you have to gain trust to join the network. A lot of the nodes will be run by trojaned machines. A lot of these machines will be run on wireless networks. Then there's anonymizing traffic remixing, and global anonymized document storage -- it isn't, but it will be there, by the time the threat becomes global. At that point a society has to make a watershed decision, whether it's going police state, or will protect pockets of privacy. So, no, I'm not over-worried yet. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net
