[liberationtech] A modest proposal for protecting the work (and freedom) of activists.

[Kyle Maxwell]

As a friendly hint: when you title something like this "A Modest Proposal",
you run the very real risk of people misinterpreting it as something else
based on the canonical use of the phrase[0]. When I read it, I kept
thinking "where's the satirical hyperbole"? Turns out, no, you literally
meant a modest proposal, but that may cause some initial confusion on the
part of the reader.

That said, I agree this is important and I look forward to seeing the
results of more people working on this area.
