They can easily redirect "legitimate traffic" to "legitimate destinations". You will not deviate from the path. No matter what you dream up, as long as you use their wire, you are at their mercy. And deep packet inspections are already quite normal and regular. What is your difficulty? When your service is crippled, ad hoc is the only way. I figure, what the hell, why not carry a little insurance? This is how the network evolves, right?
Apparently enough people feel the same way about poor black kids that he does to give him the job. Again, direct your attention to his appeal to the people that support him. That is where the power comes from. He is not a leader. He is a reflection.
You read way too much into my comment. I was merely being facetious. I really don't care about Ted Cruz. Like all the rest, he'll hop on on any popular bandwagon that passes by, this time for the IT crowd. Whatever danger or stupidity he might present comes from his supporters. If that is what it takes to win an election, then who am I to argue with success?
I'm sorry, but they can redirect the signal without a care in the world about the content. And the government can conveniently place their equipment at the ISP, or set up phony ISPs. As long we are dependent on their service we are at their mercy. Ad hoc networking is our only hope. Everything else is too easy to sabotage and is just too brittle.
You know I would believe that if it went beyond a simple exploit of a basic psychological vulnerability that also happens to conveniently explain Trump's and Clinton's appeal.
Amazon's and Google's megacorporate power comes from somewhere much closer to home. Do you remember life before their existence?
Yes, filtering what you receive at your end is not censorship. Filtering or blocking a transmission or post is. Slashdot moderation is not censorship. In fact it is one of the fairest systems out there. The reader does his own filtering. That is as it should be.
Whether or not censorship is always bad is always subjective, based purely on personal benefit. Its purpose is singular... the rationalizations, familiar and banal.
It's not so "dark" anymore, is it? Besides, Tor still doesn't blend. It will be trivial to shut it down also if/when usage passes a certain tipping point and becomes a significant portion of internet traffic. What follows will be interesting.
The courts aren't supposed to change anything. They exist to settle disputes. And petitioning has changed some legislation in some places where the elected officials are failing. I think we should petition to reduce their salaries. We can do it, you know.

And the Republicans and Democrats just cry "terrorism" and "gun violence" and think that solves the nation's problems.
For them it does. All the complaints are just noise. They will do what they want because, in reality, resistance is nil.

Oy vey! Was the joke that bad?

that would be fallacious

That is what we would call an ad homina attack
80% of Japanese, 70% of Germans, and 50% of French, think the government should be able to silence people offending others.
That's precisely why we need to make that as difficult as possible.

corporations are the real enemy.

Don't kid yourself. Your ISP can block it all with the flip of a switch. They are just waiting for the order.
The ISP can see that you're running a Tor node...
Exactly, and they can drop the packets, and anything else they decide to block.
Still, nothing is invisible to your service provider. They still have control of what will pass over the network.
Lexus has no fucking clue what it's doing.
They don't need a clue. They are selling cars. Next year's models will be more expensive to cover for this year's defects.

What's the mystery?
If that's the way they want to play, it can't be helped. If you paid for access, then you are entitled to access.

Oh please! It's a requirement for the job. It is the dominant trait of the business world.

Caps are bullshit. Charge by the bandwidth and all you infrastructure angles are covered.
Doesn't seem to matter does it? People are buying it. Sure it's a business decision, one that is paying off handsomely.
These were ADULT stem-cells.
Oh? Did anybody ask for their consent before they were ripped from their homes and transported for a foreign land?
The real problem is the air and water contamination. Zika will be the convenient diversion to cover it up
Got real punch!
