True. I recall reading that they kidnapped people to build their meshnet.


That must have been a terrifying and hopeless situation to be in.


Indeed :(

They were also co-opting local ISPs to identify activist bloggers.

Insane. I don't doubt that legalizing drugs would have relatively short-term impacts as some people who would have otherwise never tried them, try them, and some of those become hooked. How anyone can look at that, and compare it to the insane and eternal war we've chosen instead, and find the war a better choice is baffling to me.


Yes, it's been a disaster for several South and Central American countries :(
