We know the playbook. It’s either this or they will inevitably get shut down. I can’t really blame them. The govt is going to do everything to attack the sites who share links, the people who proliferate the software, the platforms that allow the “wrong” discussions and software exchange.
We went through this fight during the BitTorrent days, so this sort of thing should be expected. There is little choice for those in the open. It just means we need to step up to build or find new routes when more vulnerable ones are closed to us.
