That's kind of ironic.
Science seeks to find the simplest explaination that fits observation.
One could come up with several other more complicated views of the problem, but the simplest one wins.
Yet, people perceive it as 'complex'. Heh.
I saw a new error code on the internet today.
A 451 error. (From Wikipedia)
In computer networking, HTTP 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons is an error status code of the HTTP protocol to be displayed when the user requests an illegal resource, such as a web page censored by a government. The number 451 is a reference to Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, in which books are outlawed.[1] 451 could be described as a more descriptive variant of 403 Forbidden.[2]
Examples of situations where an HTTP 451 error code could be displayed include web pages deemed a danger to national security, or web pages deemed to violate copyright, privacy, blasphemy laws, or any other law or court order.
However, some sites may be forced to produce HTTP 404 (File Not Found) or similar if they are not legally permitted to disclose that the resource has been removed. Such a tactic is used in the United Kingdom by some internet service providers utilising the Internet Watch Foundation blacklist, returning a 404 message or another error message instead of showing a message indicating the site is blocked.[3][4]
The status code was formally proposed in 2013 by Tim Bray, following earlier informal proposals by Chris Applegate[5] in 2008 and Terence Eden[6] in 2012. It was approved by the IESG on December 18, 2015.[7]
I hate when 404 errors redirect me to a search engine, but this was the first time I came across this. It was for a bakery/cafe that recently changed name/owners, the website was under the new owner's/business name and I clicked on it from Google maps.
So if the "new" internet and the UN took over and said that all users must identify themselves with their real names and that uncensored must be censored to comply with UN approved comments what would become of uncensored?
I'd shut it down. Or move it to the darknet. And I'd remodel my bathroom so that the toilet faces 31 degrees northeast and put green tile on the floor.
Elevator video.
Old electric/mechanical elevator control unit, for those who like elevators.

I'm sure that moving the entire CitaNet to the dark web might actually be an improvement, and just possibly could re-introduce the flavor and excitement of the Golden Age (1982-1991)!!
I, for one, say Let's Do It!! <evil grin>
Hey, you can't call it the CitaNet, because that name is trademarked by some dude in New Jersey who doesn't like other people using it. :)
So ... I know how to connect to the Darknet ... what I don't know is how to navigate the Darknet. I don't know how we would get the word out that there's a new destination people can try.
elevatorfan.com is DieselDucy (Andrew from VA) ... yeah, he's the uncontested biggest name in the elevator fan scene. He's been doing it longer, and does it more, than anyone else out there.
