Fair point. A lot is happening under the radar for most people (myself included, I had even forgotten about L3 given how rarely it appears in any news), and it's all about governments and corporations making deals between themselves as to the control over what everybody else on the planet is now using as their most basic communication system (outside of actual speech). Control that and you control everything.

If there's one positive side to the whole profit motive thing, it's that those corporations are not tied to any specific government. They're buying them out, sure, but ultimately they're solely interested in their own profits, so there's still some wiggle-room for regular people to lean on that. For now.

I'm right there with you as to what Internet may very well become in the nearer future than we'd think. Tor may end up having to pick up the slack, but there's work to do on the engagement aspect, and then we get right back to the infrastructure issue because everything is going through that. You can add has many encryption layers as you want, you're still going through fiber connections that are owned by a couple of corporations who don't care about your freedom of expression.

There's constant nudging going on, it's always going in the same direction, and attacks such as today's on Cloudflare are an integral part of it.

Oh well, we'll keep on doing our thing whenever and wherever we're able to, and when we can't anymore, we'll find other ways to keep doing it anyway. As of right now, count this as one grateful for what you've done here.

Good weekend-end, and hopefully tomorrow (or soon after) Cloudflare will have taken control back, until next time :)
