If it's any improvement over the pitiful offerings that are currently available on the web, I say: bring it on. Even garbage shouldn't be exempt from reengineering.
Q: Why do they call it "adult" subject matter when 99.9999999% is so utterly and unrepentantly juvenile? That's always puzzled me.
;D

@40, please post links to the 0.0000001%. I'm really curious about that stuff now! ;D

You may shut down Wikileaks but you can't stop the leaks.

Don't be too sure.
As long as the leaks continue to fall on largely deaf ears - and the penalties inflicted on those who choose to go public continue to increase - a point will be reached where 'leaking' is no longer an effective tool. At which point it will follow, into oblivion, so many other forms of non-violent protest.
It's a shame, really. :(

Fair enough.
Social media has been around for what? 10 years? The internet (in its mass-reach avatar) for a little longer. I'm guessing all these unrelated concerns: organizations violating personal privacy, rampant online piracy, wikileaks and similar organizations exposing state secrets, botnets for sale, organized CC theft, etc - are pushing us all in one direction -> serious internet regulation. I wonder what things will be like in another 50-60 years...

+ 1 for both of these.
We have the RIAA example, and now the UK Government is reportedly floating the idea of enforcing "trust-based computing" to the Intenet, so that access control would be governed by a unique ID chip on your computer.
What could go wrong?
