... Humans — specifically the thousands of people who gather intelligence and analyze satellite photos to build massive target lists ahead of potential conflicts with foreign adversaries — are to blame.

Has anyone thought through the ramifications of SCION adoption (a more secure BGP alternative) with respect to Open Internet access?

Yes, it gives much better, more performant, more robust routing. It seems imposing strong trust controls, regionally (or nationally) managed, on routing would be a big security improvement.

But doesn't it give the nation state an iron hand in who is allowed to route? Does it create risks for the open internet?

What I want from the modern web is to be treated like a kid 13 or under.

Don't ask me to agree to one-sided terms of service, don't send me marketing spam, don't track me, don't make me constantly hypervigilant against attempts to appropriate my money/identity/attention by pickpocketing my consent.

My working assumption is that any app that wants to know my age means to do me harm.
