    Yes. It looks like this: 1. Decentralised 2. Zero-knowledge 3. Commons-based & supported Infrastructure that *individuals* own & control.https://twitter.com/mozilla/status/809119311679942657 …

        Either decentralised (so all data/processing occurs on your own devices) or, if centralised components necessary, e2e-encrypted.

        Corporations hiding tax money hurts the country, and hits the poorest the hardest.
