@Matt, you’ve made some statements on what could happen and credit to you. I haven’t seen these in other anti-censorship news and blogs to this level.
What is the likelihood in your opinion of attacks such as those you have talked about happening? Is there any case studies on similar technologies where this has happened at a level like what is being planned by Conroy and co. in Australia? I know that’s a tough question and China would be the best source of information for that but we know we ain’t going to get that! The threat scenario you present seems feasible and something that looks on the face of it quite tempting for hackers to test.

@D2 All Epic Fail. But I know you know your tech specs to state it! Lets play more when it comes out if we are allowed?! Yeah….sure…

@Drazen
I have followed this cause for a long time and this is probably the thing that will break it. Congrats to you and Matthew Strahan for this. The ethical and technical issues have been discussed and ignored for months now. What you have highlighted is something to really drive the nails into the coffin of this stupid idea. Thank you!

D2 inspired by Matthew, wading back in to the ring: Posting more about the #nocleanfeed regarding technical and ethical constraints http://tr.im/2iql from an ISP perspective!
