Yea, I know all about the common misconception that it is "impossible" to censor memo. All but a state approved version of memo can be made illegal. New versions can too.

They can make drugs illegal too. Hope they don't do that. You know what the penalties were for participating in the black markets in USSR were? Yet people did.

Drugs are a nuisance. True free speech/money something else entirely. But even more important: It is generally far easier to track packets electronically than to track physical stuff.

They'll definitely try. I'm hoping it will be too late by then.

Small potatoes stuff like memo now? Who cares. But "main stream" social platform? Then Joe Sixpack has to be able harden his home computer setup (weak endpoint) to resist NSA

Not to mention willing to endure the hazzle it means, instead of just using FB for his cat movies. Also, it is not enough that NSA cannot break into his rig, they must not know there

is something hidden there. Cause if they do, they can come to his house and take him down. If it is seriously illegal, that would mean prison for poor mr Sixpack.

Also, blockchain is SAID to be uncensorable, but this claim has not been put to the test. It is actually likely quite possible. Stuff is impossible until it isn't.

You are correct that more work needs to be done to harden the network I think. Make sure it can't be easily filtered at the network level. Something like TOR.
replied 1573d
It may be that simple hardening is sufficient, but I doubt it. The social aspect of this has not been tested under pressure. What if miners find more profit on state sanctioned chains?
replied 1573d
Miners are definitely a weak point in the system.
