One can't escape the corporations or governments' influence. They are already in every aspect of one's life. Rather than trying to build a super secret treehouse away from their gaze it's more productive to find a way to protect people's freedoms within the current system. To make it so senators do not have the power to meddle with the network arbitrarily.

Why not work on both political and technological solutions to the problem? The more ways the problem is attacked, the more likely one attack will succeed.

Of course. I thought that was implicit, sorry. What I don't agree with is the article's proposal to start over.
