International law is becoming less friendly to a free Internet in line with the Bill of Rights. International legislation is making protecting 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendment protections for US citizens almost impossible.

Internationally, the following laws (with timeline) require this action.

The 2019 Chinese Cryptography Law (evaluation) opens a door for PLA to demand decryption keys to communication any time they apply the national security label.
Russia tried in 2024 to sue that internet agencies had an obligation to provide decryption methods to states on demand, though the EU unanimously denied the motion. They also have introduced bans on TLS 1.3, DNS-over-HTTPS, etc.
The 2024 UN Cybercrime Treaty (evaluation) proposes an international ban on security research and troubling proposals about encryption.
The 2023-2025 UK Online Safety Act (evaluation) requires collecting government ID on users if there is a case where users might share information considered pornographic.

I have to operate somewhere, and the US is my country of residence. We have had a multitude of challenges, including the current Kids Online Safety Act and the Wisconsin assault on VPNs, within our own borders. However, the higher courts have upheld, so far, the Constitutional rights.

This network is not set up to handle international legal challenges or pay millions of dollars to stay open. We are, though, a network -- IRC, Cyberbrain, Foundation, Maat and others are set to enable to transmission of information from one user to another. While this is ideally technical information, we do have a martial arts program that is at odds with authoritarian governments, and we also know that our advocacy for privacy and cryptography is a direct threat to the same. We have maintained a warrant canary since our inception.

The network will find ways to remain open. We are going to run a series of responses.

We will enable geofencing to US addresses, which allows us to frame our legal evaluations to the US state & federal codes.
We will establish a TOR address for users.
We will establish an SSH-based service that will allow users to connect to the network's services via submitting a public key.

The EU is also considered here, with their Chat Control attempting to mandate disclosure of encryption keys.
