Surveillance has reversed the net's capacity for social change

Perhaps closing the internet isn’t ideal, but “going dark” (in the FBI’s sense of the term) isn’t such a bad idea to me. Better yet, do it with third-party, open-source products that don’t have anyone that they can attempt to compel to cooperate. (The issue, though, is when they try to ban such things, but you know as well as I do that fight is coming sooner or later.)
