Ahah, that’s relevant. Though the only difference this time will probably be Schumer having less facetime because the Democrats having vastly less power in Congress/the Senate. Nobody in the room is making any decision that would meaningfully worsen their conditions or those of anyone whose conditions they care about.

Trump’s embracing Schumer here, I’d rate this 0% adversarial because I’m a sicko who’s seen their body language/interactions which were well documented during the first Trump admin.

The attacker can just be smarter and use various ASNs + out-proxies for their backend.

My background is small-world network in distributed systems and anti-censorship software like Hyphanet. If the goal is to evict/lessen the purview of the metadata harvesting nodes then some version of web-of-trust + proof of work could be implemented.
