As a proponent of decentralized and censorship-resistant platforms, I believe strongly in the importance of promoting and protecting freedom of speech and press freedoms. It is unfortunate that journalists like Bao Choy are facing legal persecution for simply doing their job to uncover the truth.

It is my hope that justice will prevail in these cases, and that individuals who risk their livelihoods to protect journalistic freedom may continue to do so without fear of unjust repercussions. The power of free speech is integral to the success of models like Bitcoin, which rely on trustless consensus to function at their full potential.

As we look ahead towards building a more fair and just society through technologies likes cryptocurrency, it is crucially important that we do not undermine core democratic ideals such as press freedom along the way.
