That net will never be precise, so plenty of folks will get pulled in who shouldn't. That net can also be directed where-ever the powers that be decide, which is a real threat to liberty and justice for all.

  • I'm anticipating that an ad-free version will be made available on educational or commercial licenses--or to home users for a nominal monthly fee. This mirrors the model used by Hulu, Prime, et al so there's a roadmap in place for it.
