Freedom in the digital age

It's one thing to use a blocklist.

It's a whole other to use such a terrible one.

Disappointed in #GrapheneOS for this

"We need to talk to the totalitarians … yes, the ones who wanted to put us in camps. If we can’t get through to them, we’re probably screwed. And there is a window of opportunity to do that now. It’s not 2020 or 2021. The mass hysteria has worn off for a lot of people. I know, not all of them, but for some of them, a lot of them. Some of them are finally reachable.

Take a chance, talk to them, the ones you know, or used to know. Try to get through to them. Not the bug-eyed, fanatical, foaming-at-the-mouth types who can’t wait for the return of the “emergency measures.” The other ones … you know the ones I mean. The ones who want out. You can see it in their eyes. Take a chance. Talk to these people."

You'd be surprised at how much you'll learn from this excellent talk by Naomi Brockwell. Even careful & experienced people have a lot to learn!

At some point, a decision has to be made.

Will the internet still be allowed to be a public good for the people, or will it be forever dominated and constrained by public-private partnerships?

Our actions, determine which road we take.

It's quite telling how so many governments have encryption, privacy, and unmoderated spaces directly in the line of fire right after the Covid Crisis is no longer the main focus.

Seems like they learned some lessons and are actively working on loose ends.

Sad to see so many lower their guard because "It's over"

There aren't good explanations for why PayPal would deplatform #GrapheneOS
