Sure, they can still abuse if if everything is distributed, but it's a lot more work. > My main point is that an oppressive government is a huge problem, and it really doesn't matter whether you use aws or roll your own server, because either way you're screwed if you've let it get to that point. But we aren't at that point yet. So lets not give up trying to build things the right way just because we may be screwed in the future.
