Such is life. Maybe this is the start of the project that will revolutionize anonymous usenet access? Maybe you will be its leader? ;) It would be fun to offer anonymous usenet access, if only to piss off EU politicians who want to ban non-encrypted communication. Yes, they are at it again! Also sweden, becoming the new police state du jour, is trying to pass a law forbidding Signal and the use of signal i nthe country for as long as they won't leak information to the government. Bet you didn't see anything of that on the mainstream news! =( At the moment there are discussions. I feel sadly confident that they will pass this law given the complete erosion of privacy they managed to achieve so far. --8323328-723930131-1737799302=:16025--
