Despite the borderless appearance of connected networks, we still operate within society. We either need to operate within societal rules, or make an overt decision to subvert them. No different than any other activity, really, except that we may not live in the jurisdiction we're respecting/subverting (though mail fraud has been a thing for hundreds of years).

You are right, and honestly the more I think about it, the more I worry about it being a bad idea.

Or less a bad idea, and more a 'most likely to steer in a bad Direction's sort of idea as, honestly, humanity doesn't really have a 'decent' direction yet haha.

We're all headed in the same direction, at slightly varying rates.

My wife will give birth in 6 months, I surely hope it's a good direction!
