It’s not just about free speech. It’s about the cost of speech. If you’re jailed by the state for speech, you may not speak out. But if you’re fired by an employer for speech, that’s costly too. More than most can pay. Costly speech means only the wealthy speak freely.

Build alternative, decentralized platforms for speech that protect creators ownership and privacy. I.E. Why does Twitter need to be centralized?
