Utterly disgraceful behaviour at Rye College!
A scary illustration of German's 'anti-hate' laws: author C J Hopkins has been told that he's under investigation by the public prosecutor’s office in Berlin, for “disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization” - because his book about the rise of the medico-fascist state contained a swastika. Unbelievable. But this type of censorship is where 'anti-hate' laws invariably lead.
Too true. Same experience. Sad that Microsoft has chosen this route.
Am curious about the Blue Bird app. Anyone got a list (or an analysis) of the accounts which were subject to 'visibility filtering' / throttling / shadow-banning?
I would start small - perhaps with the manager of a local coffee shop? Maybe advertise in a local network for volunteers of people who want to get started? There may be more than you think.
However, you need to think about what is in it for them, and how you can help.
I would assist them set up a Lightning Network terminal (e.g. https://bitfurypeach.com, which is specifically designed for business, or BitPay, if transaction sizes are bigger). Explain the benefits of using it, and then ensure that you find them some customers who pay that way - e.g. local blockchain network, student blockchain society, tech groups etc. Put the business on local maps & directories of bitcoin merchants, and explain how this can be free advertising for them. Maybe see if the local newspaper wants to run a story for more publicity?
If it works well, you'll have hundreds of customers who will be intrigued and might want to try it out for themselves, plus a business owner who will talk with other small business owners.
Just had a look - exactly what I had in mind. Have signed up for waitlist. Hope it succeeds!

1000 sats for your best meme of the RESTRICT Act. Drop them below and repost.
This is a great piece on how 'disinformation control' is really just politics and censorship:
Who is working on escrow markets for physical goods? Strikes me as a very important problem if we ever want to move towards true decentralisation, and wider use of bitcoin. Otherwise we will always fall back to issues of consumer protection and full disclosure of retailer identity, etc.
Anyone working on escrow services for physical goods, like this paper? Strikes me that we need to get this right in order to have a properly functioning economy with bitcoin.
This unbelievable: Senator Graham - who co-sponsored the Restrict Act - concedes on camera that he HASN'T EVEN READ THE DAMNED THING! What an utter clown show.

Well folks you heard it right from the horses mouth, the rights of trannies are more important than the lives of your children (unless of course they can use them for the express political purpose of disarming you so trannies and black supremacists can kill even more people)

Jeez. What an utterly disgusting reaction.
Agree that Tiktok is harmful - whether we're talking manipulation or sypware. Interesting that you are positive it is entirely deliberate. Maybe classifying it as a media company and regulating it that way might be possible or preferable?
Government *wants* you to think this is a dilemma. It isn't at all - there are plenty of ways of legislating against data transfer from US to China without having to ban apps or go anywhere near the awful RESTRICT act.
