    They have a point about the consolidation of domain hosting, and if they can fund it that's their prerogative. I assume they are smart enough to know that it will be fully infiltrated by the feds...

    Don't be so sure. They're dumb/ignorant enough to by into the "race" myth despite a century of modern research/medicine noting it as mostly irrelevant.

    Judging from the description of the technical people involved in the project, there are going to be many of the Slashdot libertarians working on this. Their hatred and paranoia of the TLAs lead me to my conclusion.

    In the Bad Old Days, there was an eeeevil concept of societal norms. In the West we have mainly done away with them. And true, they were far from all good. But now we have reached the point of relativism that "good" and "bad" are just two position statements.

    Even I find myself thinking "every view should be aired" since surely suppressing lies is a bad thing.

    But even Freedom of Speech in the USA is not infinite. And frankly, this along with other corrosive beliefs should be stamped out along with other things such as organised crime / paedophilia etc.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
