Well you were not that anonymous anyway. I'm sure something will give at some point.

On the other hand we might need to do a workshop called 'technology for journalists' if they are to keep writing articles like these.

And if this is about ipv6 we are nowhere near large scale migration yet. But so much is going on in that area right now.

The bigger issue is people using resources outside our borders. Like foreign smtp servers, or foreign originated sms's. ISPs would need very clear terms. For instance only allowing email through their smtp servers for onward relay, or heuristicaly blocking messages based on some algorithm.
