I see, I'll have to write this up a bit more, but here's how it's envisioned: Although it's a p2p network, it has a "grouping model" whereby the are circles of trust in which one publishes. So, for example, you might have a group called "public-fedsocweb", and you type a message and publish it to this group. It stays within that group, but like everything on the net, as soon as you put it out there, you can only try to control use. (A group "owner" might control who can come in and what goes out of the group, but otherwise, you have to trust your group.) Hence, a big part of the pangaia project is to partner with Lessig's Creative Commons, so that all content automatically is protected with an implicit license. The idea of "protected dark nets" is an idea that is not in line with transforming and fixing society. I think this is part of the reason that nothing has moved forward in this domain. Everyone is worried about the NSA, spying, whatever, but the real issues are that (in the U.S.) the law is already written to protect you. People just need to stop giving away their country. -- MarkJ Tacoma, Washington
