[BBC] 'Banning Tor unwise', MPs told

[WuddaWaste]

It's an interesting thing to have a network which transcends the reach of traditional law enforcement. We've seen this time and time again. How does one create a jurisdiction which transcends international borders? Everyone wants power. Everyone wants control.

The old, traditional mentality is still focused on a physical model. They can't even grasp the idea of a global mesh network, how it's decentralized, and how it is so self-healing with multiple circumventing paths and loopholes.

I know it's a power struggle with both governments and big businesses scrambling for control. But what makes the Internet so beautiful is the very lack of that. I hope the net stays free for long enough for generations to understand that, to see the value in defending and keeping it that way, and eventually for the total expanse of human knowledge to transcend the pettiness of distrust, greed, and control.
