1. It's not theoretical. Lightning is already being surveilled, don't be naive. 2. It's our job to allow users to switch LSPs and sub-networks at their will. I don't subscribe to the FUD around Spark. I think it's a cool tech that will only get better and more private. And if not, the market will reject it and use something better.

There may be surveillance attempts on Lightning, but I doubt they are having much success. And again, how can you possibly compare that "possibility" -- to the fact that, for example, the government of Israel can send David Marcus a list of IP addresses and say "give us all the Spark transactions associated with these IP addresses"??

Sure, those of us who are incentivized to do marketing for centralized, fully-surveilled, non-public solutions can continue to do that marketing. Those of us who believe in freedom technology can also continue to make a fuss, especially when an app like Blitz, which was at one point associated with freedom technology, suddenly switches to sharing all of their user's transaction data with LightSpark. Believe me, a lot of other Lightning participants are horrified, but a lot of them need to keep quiet because inevitably they will be looking for VC funding from the same funds which (unfortunately) are giving Breez money to market David Marcus' API. I've been a Bitcoiner since 2012, don't need VC funding, so it's my role to explain to the community the danger of what you are marketing.
