Anarchy is simply absence of tall hierarchies.

You can have each individual community choose what OpenStreetMap tiles to use, what to censor etc.

Like HN does. What if HN was kicked off a host? They would put the backups somewhere else and repoint the DNS.

What if ICE seized their domain? Then we could move domain name resolution to a DHT.

What if AT&T refused to carry it or charge extra? The signal could route packets along other lines. No single point of failure.

It’s not just about banning 0% or 100% but the prices and friction imposed by privately owned rentseeking infrastructure monopolies. Why in a span of less than 10 years, VOIP has caused international calls that used to cost $3 a minute to turn free and have video!

The weird thing is that when A wants to connect woth B you think there has to be a one-size-fits all C that can block it.



"Anarchy is simply absence of tall hierarchies"

No it is not!
