Is there any proof that Usenet is still international?
Many ISPs have already killed their Usenet service and servers! So how could you be sure that Usenet is still that Usenet? Are we only accessing a local Usenet within our country of residence? -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

No proof. You could sign posts, but please don't. Key exchange is a massive problem. Even if everyone configured their software to check which posts had been signed with a valid key, why should I believe that you are who you say you are? Anybody could have generated a key using your name. -- blind Pete Greetings from Australia |

You claim to be in Hong Kong. I say that I am not. We're both using news-servers (different ones) which are, or might be, in Germany, where neither of us is. Probably. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Many countries hate US technology. Some even consider it a sabotage subversion tool! So it's likely that some countries never join Usenet. Maybe I should not have think about "international" in the first place, when even United Nations is not really an international organization. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

Maybe I should not have think about "international" in the first place, when even United Nations is not really an international organization. Countries don't join usenet. Individuals post articles, or read them; that is all. An internet access provider could in theory prevent its customers from accessing usenet, I suppose; but that would make people a lot more curious and determined to find ways around any blockages. Don't forget that usenet predates the internet. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |
