THe freedom is already gone.  THe only perons who will find it easier to
create groups will be the backbone; for the rest it will remain impossible,
as it is now.  Most of the SA types I know I would not compare to Hitler,
but nevertheless there's no advantage whatsoever to anyone in the new system
except for the backbone-- originally, one of the reasons proffered was that
the reorg was to allow the backbone to nuke the "talk" groups easily (and
without having to consult anyone else).
