A closely related disadvantage is that there’s not always much you can

operators who didn’t care at all, but also huge numbers of legitimate
users who would be lost if you blocked the whole site.

Maybe this is the start of the project that will revolutionize anonymous usenet
access? Maybe you will be its leader? ;)
It would be fun to offer anonymous usenet access, if only to piss off EU
politicians who want to ban non-encrypted communication.
Yes, they are at it again!
Also sweden, becoming the new police state du jour, is trying to pass a law
forbidding Signal and the use of signal i nthe country for as long as they won't
leak information to the government.
Bet you didn't see anything of that on the mainstream news! =( At the moment
there are discussions. I feel sadly confident that they will pass this law given
the complete erosion of privacy they managed to achieve so far.
