fwiw, your analogy hit home with me. as a network operator for both my 
family and my company, i resent being lumped in with oppressive regimes 
when members of the web community are trying to decide what DNS control 
plane bypasses to offer. i find the ietf's post-snowden consensus on 
enshrining rights for all end users including bots, malware, intruders, 
poisoned supply chains, and unruly teenagers at home, at the expense of 
every right (and responsibility!) of network operators to be naive knee 
jerkism, unhelpful, and disrespectful.
