From the linked website: Public consultation (feedback) will be open in the second quarter of 2025.

Other than file-sharing or xdcc, where you can search for FLAC,

- Relative global upstream traffic went down, but not due to other file-sharing protocols but entirely different applications
- I2P is not mentioned anywhere in the article, nor any other sharing alternative
- VPN is mentioned as a potential reason for not being able to identify torrent traffic; VPN has become much more prevalent and promoted in the scene

You don't even need a VPN to use a different DNS server.
Any large multi-national international competition with a significant public interest should have and require public access.
Isn’t this the world right now? Even you rent your landlord owns the house you rent.
It's the opposite. I asked whether they were saying there should not be any renting, only owning.
I'm confused. Are you saying people shouldn't have to pay for housing? For food? For electricity?
They're providing/enabling the human right. Why do you describe it as if they were making money off of necessity without trade and giving?
