| Message | Even if not a full monopoly, any state interference in the internet has the risk of becoming a monopoly by sheer force of will. Monopolies in the internet have shown a harsh drop in efficiency and we do not wish this for Vorona. Above that, direct state access to the internet may result in the higher efficiency of a police state if that was ever to come about. |
