I invested in Cloak because of the whitepaper on Onemarket. The whitepapers on anonymous transactions were good too but the OneMarket paper really sold me on the developers and their vision for an autonomous market layered on top of a coin network that also supported anonymous transactions.
Sorry for the rambling, I know these aren't set in stone rules that ban certian listings or anything. I just have a strong libertarian viewpoint and love the idea of the Onejury system where the users of cloak decide what's listed and don't see the need to worry about what's legal where, what regulations and sales tax and jurisdiction and..you get the idea, I just like freedom for the people to decide.

Indeed, we don't need a new ebay. We need a "light" version of the Silk Road, where people deal between people freely and anonymously, without the fear of the government, customs etc. coming after you or your transactions. This is how we attract real money, and real usage. If it is decentralized, nobody can blame the cloak team for inventing a platform, where people make their own decisions.
Freedom all the way. Onejury can then decide where the line goes... probably no-one wants to have child porn, firearms or hard drugs sold out there. However, I can see a massive support for selling marijuana.
One thing bothers me though, and sorry for patronising all the teens reading this, but I just wonder if there is any way to prevent underage people from buying narcotics or alcohol through the cloak market? I don't want to read headlines like "bitcoin booze blinds 3 minors"...
Yes, they can blame the cloak team. Take a look at thepiratebay and what the creators are going through. Watch their documentaries.
, but they're both [apparently] in jail for it.
And to the underage thing; nope. I'm a 7320 year old wizard with 4 arms. How can you prove I'm not? That's what anonymity is.
