Streisand Effect ... please pick up the courtesy phone. Streisand Effect ...

The term Darknet and The Dark Web are what the World Wide Web would have been called if NCSA Mosaic had been released after 9-11. Port 80 would have been renamed Tortuga, and all email/IM/TXT/DNS requests would have been regulated by and routed through the DHS.

So how about we begin to use a different adjective to describe the desire for online privacy/pseudo-identity?

How about the Butterfly Net? Or how about Free Beer Net? Or how about The True Free Market Net? Or the Tea Party Net?
