I'm all for them trying. IDK if they will succeed. But we need ppl working on implementations of privacy tech. There's a diff between having the theory, and having implementations to pick from.
I suspect the prob in the end, will be like what Tor faces. Every exit node gets blocked by bigger and bigger %'s of teh web, until the tech works but it is nearly useless.
IDK how to solve that. I even understand why so many sites block Tor today. Deluges of abuse come from it, so they subscribe to blocklists. That means, ppl who desire to behave well, but want privacy from Big Surveilence, are collateral damage in that war.
