@tante@tldr.nettime.org The act of putting up resistance is valuable in itself. It makes others of us feel less alone, and keeps at least some pressure on the adopters that they still have to defend their choices. Our mistakes in the past were sometimes allowing things to seem inevitable.

@jonah@mastodon.neat.computer Just to add: the motives of the lawmakers aren't even relevant. The question is: how will the government in 10 years use this power? There is no question that "it CAN happen here" no matter where 'here' is. Unless you trust all politicians on both sides of the spectrum forever, you should not give them the power to investigate or jail you for using an anonymizing service.
