That would require that someone somewhere would have to actually look at the bits to make a value judgement.
And then you lose privacy and security.
Additionally, you open the door wide for moral judgement of your bits, because we're people and that's what we do, rightly or wrongly. It's probably fine because you may work on something innocuous - but what about the artist, the protestor or the troll?
Personally, I dislike trolls intensely, but in certain forums they're apparently desirable.
The transport itself should be totally neutral to content. Only the endpoints should matter.
- rhino369 12y agoIt wouldn't require someone looking at it. I'd assume such a system would just prioritize traffic to specific IP addresses. Or they could pick a VPN port.
- jessaustin 12y agoAny port or protocol or format that gets "prioritized" will swiftly be used to tunnel non-prioritized traffic.
