Sci hub often needs to be accesses by a random IP and/or without a corporate-blessed TLS cert. The same goes for many counter-esrablishment sites across the world (China, Iran, ...).

The premise of the Internet was distributed dissemination of information for the mass public. There is a real fear that we are walking through practical one-way doors, ever increasing the barrier of access to disruptive counter-corporate/counter-state information.

It doesn't take a huge leap to relate these concerns to America's future political discourse.
