R-Ando,

Your conclusion is incorrect. Eliminating pornography from DarkTor (even if such a thing were technically feasible) would NOT make it easier to fight government involvement in DarkTor. The government may say that spying on its citizens is necessary because of all the horrible things that happen in the Internet's dark alleys, but the real reason is because it simply wants control over its citizens. Have you ever watched a politician on TV that didn't seem to think he knew better than you?

So let's pretend you can eliminate porn from DarkTor transactions. Do you think the government won't continue to make it's case for spying on you based on terrorism issues alone? Or that it won't bring other issues into the argument (human trafficking, drugs, illegal xBox mods, etc)? When you take away a thief's access to a particular house, is it plausible to think he'll stop being a thief, or more likely he'll simply pick another house?

What's interesting to me is that you've held up the dual pillars of pornography and terrorism and argued that by eliminating one, you neuter the government's argument against DarkTor, making it easier to fight them.

Why did you choose pornography?

Why not choose terrorism? Which is worse for a society? You want to eliminate boobies, but blowing up kids in a crowded market is okay? Your choice says something about how you view the world. If you examine your choice a little deeper and try to imagine eliminating the "pillar" you didn't choose, you might discover how impossible what you're proposing really is.

DRK is cash, plain and simple. What you're suggesting is that cash be used for all goods and services known to humanity, except one.

Huh?!
