      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.

      It is the duty of those who have been fortunate to develop technologies to protect the civil liberties of those less fortunate. Pseudonymity & encryption are two ways to reduce the cost of speech — to ensure that free speech doesn’t belong only to the rich. What else can we do?

          See also @paulg’s recent piece. The aggressively independent-minded are an international force, and it may take only one Satoshi to build the technology necessary to protect and expand freedom. Perhaps that’s you. https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1286618512996343808?s=21 …https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1286618512996343808 …

          Might be useful to take a page out of the FOSS world and distinguish 'libre' vs 'gratis'.

          The other side is hateful speech. We can ignore it—sure—but the sad fact is that hate speech moves people, oftentimes faster than its more reasonable cousin. Blocking hate speech is problematic because we first have to define it. What should consequences be for hate speech?

          Decentralization of course, but you’re aware of that. I think the biggest challenge now is getting the cost of distributing video down.

          Only allow Pseudonymity. Strip the power of names away from everyone.

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