And people usually fall for that, so it will probably work unless we're actively opposing it.
What strategies do you propose for resisting it? Because from what I see, there aren't any. We're simply a minority, and our strengths lie in writing and developing software, which is indeed powerful, but it doesn't entirely solve the problem.
If there is no strategy yet, it is because one has not yet been achieved structurally.
I return to the torrent examples. In the 2000s they were heavily persecuted by the authorities, with dozens of people arrested for running torrent sites. But they did not disappear and today they continue to operate. Did the authorities simply stop worrying? Certainly not. It is true that the mode of consumption has changed, but even so, torrent sites have managed to structure themselves in a way that reduces or makes it more difficult to experience problems.
Something similar has to happen with mixers. It is true that in many cases, mixers have a direct impact on governments, due to tax liability. And this leads to them being much more active in this laziness than they were with torrents. But, as long as mixes structurally cannot overcome these challenges, they will continue to have several problems.
Just like torrent, which is shared by users and not torrent sites, something similar needs to happen with mixers. Whether this is technically possible, I don't know. But, I believe that the solution goes this way.
