Don't worry, blocking p2p is the next step and is extremely easy to do.
China has done it already and it's very effective:
* Force every service provider to register their IPs and domains (for CDN use)
* Force every ISP to do stateful firewalling and block every attempt to establish a new connection unless the destination IP is on a whilelist maintained by the government.
I imagining a post-apocolyptic plot... nodes of dense dendridtic clusters consisting of low-range meshes connected to eachother via hijacked defunct, satellite ISPs
Yeah, they can't 100% win. They don't need to. In fact, even if they did 100% win, they'd still find reasons to need to crush some people just to keep people reminded of who has the guns.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Riots don’t require guns to have an effect, as the UK has seen quite recently. Point being: an analysis that draws its conclusion from the presence of state violence is incomplete if it doesn’t also consider violence on the part of citizens/subjects.
Please don't use this thread to shill a shitcoin that doesn't even remotely attempt to solve the issue being discussed in the thread. Even if the shitcoin itself weren't stupid, it's specifically targeting low-power iot devices, not general internet usage.

Problem solved.
