Wrong answers: Seed Metallica? Become a Tor exit node? Join a vigilante botnet?

Better answers: Run your own vpn or Owncloud instance or run your own Matrix/Jitsi server

I would agree it is good for society but considering the risk of getting shut down by your ISP or getting subpoenaed it tends to be poor advice except for the adventurous.

Yeah, I have an OwnCloud, VPN, and other “homelab” stuff

Tor exit node might cause conflict with my ISP!
