this threads + federation discuss reminds me of
Gibson in Idoru—
"They say it began as a shared 'killfile.' It is an old expression. A way to avoid incoming messages. With the killfile in place, it was like those messages never existed. They never reached you. This was when the net was new, understand?"
(continued)
Gibson in Idoru—
"Someone had the idea to turn the killfile inside out. This is not really how it happened..but this is how the story is told: that the people who founded Hak Nam were angry, because the net had been very free, you could do what you wanted, but then the governments and the companies, they had different ideas of what you could, what you couldn’t do."
(continued)
Gibson in Idoru—
"So these people, they found a way to unravel something. A little place, a piece, like cloth. They made something like a killfile of everything, everything they didn’t like, and they turned that inside out."
