Sadly, it is time we join the pedos and traffickers in Tor sites. Our discussion sites, our culture creation sites, all of those should be divorced from law enforcement's reach and be moved to safety. It might seem ridiculous to move a site like HN to tor, but it is ridiculous right up to the day it isn't, and then it is too late. We would also free ourselves of copyright, which in the current state only restricts creativity (the things you would put effort in, risky) and in practice fully allows duplicating complete works (effortless, no risk).
The time of running the web on the simplest paradigms (direct connection) that facilitate meddling has come to an end as any bovine lawmaker can give us impossible instructions that they do not understand themselves. It is time to assert the power of mathematics, let them stew in it a little while, let them realize they can't just shut the whole thing down anymore, and maybe in a couple generations they will have cleaned up their lawmaking act and we can try to join lawful society again. Maybe. But I expect that in time a fully torified core of sites will be considered a foundation of freedom, and not something to give up in any circumstance.
