as i intended by my reference to martin niemöller, i suspect that's who
the net police/vigilantes will come for next.  and then ...  and then
...  it is incremental, each justifies the next.

the problem with making weapons is that they will be abused.  a good
piece on this the other day in the wapo,
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/technology-can-be-put-to-good-use--or-hasten-the-demise-of-the-human-race/2019/04/09/c7af4b2e-56e1-11e9-8ef3-fbd41a2ce4d5_story.html

there are other means to deal with the hijacking problem without
becoming police, judge, jury, and prison all rolled into one.  push the
technical approaches.  use legal resources, the rule of law, before
trump erodes it entirely.

i hope we are above becoming a lynch mob.
