I never thought some technology standard could be lobbied by something like the NSA.
I mean most devs right now are doing web apps in JS, so obviously if you manage to restraint browsers from being able to do simple simple, raw p2p, you've won another battle against the making of a tech like bittorrent.
I so wish bittorrent inc could pick up on that... The web is not secure, but p2p networks are much more. Someone really have to make p2p networks more accessible and more functional for tech unsavvy people. Bittorrent sync already makes a great job at that, but that's not really enough, it's just files, not discussion groups or private messages.
Why not starting with just a anonymous p2p discussion system, without moderation or identification ? 4chan works that way, and they manage it pretty well, doesn't seem to bother many people. I emphasis on the without moderation or identification, because I guess there will be security flaws allowing to thwart messages.

Any reflexion on such systems ?
