The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

Maybe a decentralized encrypted takedownsafe and possibly anonymous internet protocol won't care what they think?

I mean we have to try IMO.

Good luck with that. The only such protocol I know of that people actually use is Tor, and it's a US government honey pot.

And now it allied with cryptocoins

I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.

If tor was a hobeypot they'd have a much easyer tine catching criminals using it

And if you bothered to invest a fifth of a third of a quarter of the energy you're putting into being defensive into helping solve the problem, we wouldn't be here.

I took your comment as against the argv_minus_one guys, so in favour of my comment he was bashing.

Anyways I do invest time in this stuff, I built the Tenfingers sharing protocol.

Cheers

And I took your comment as immature negativity only to find out it's jealous whining at best and concern trolling and forum sliding at worst.

You're not going to win the argument. All you're going to do is make things worse. You're not going to stop us from supporting Firefox in their time of need, or France's, or the Internet. It's just not gonna happen.

So go find something better to do with your free time and let the adults talk.
