I think we need a technical solution to this. Discussions do not require
a huge bandwidth, so systems using onion-routing should be a viable option.
To counter social engineering, only common sense/applied brains can help.

https://freenetproject.org/ is an interesing project, but one seriously
has to consider all consequences. If absolute anonymous communication 
is possible, combined with untracable payment by bitcoins, there will be
a market fof contract killers, child porn, snuff movies, online harassing
 and other stuff. On freenetproject I saw some disgusting stuff and 
abandoned the community.
