Hey journalist Twitter, did you know that has no technical ability to ban anyone or take down any published article on the Freenet Project network for any reason? If you're looking for absolute free speech, you need look no further.

Locutus has an optimized binary size of just 2.4 megabytes! While it is still a work in progress and may double in size or more, it remains a mere fraction of the size of most modern software.
This is essential to making Locutus deployable virtually anywhere.

Freedom is a precious thing,
On Freenet, you can be free,
Be who you want to be,
Your truest identity.

If you're against freedom of expression, you're the one pushing us closer to fascism, not the other guy.

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today.
Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Swartz was never convicted or sentenced to prison. After declining a plea bargain in which he'd serve six months in jail, he committed suicide before trial.

Federating censorship leads to purity spirals and echo chambers.
Quote Tweet
Over on Mastodon - the obscure refuge to which liberal journalists are fleeing in fear of free speech even though they can't figure it out - they're already banning each other over the most trivial infractions.
It's like a laboratory to study how censorship-happy rats behave.

So apparently Iran isn't turning off the internet, just doing selective blocking, which means that is still a viable means of communication and organizing.
tip: Don't make darknet connections to people in your protest groups. Only to known associates and family.

The Russian security services threatened a senior Google exec with prison unless Google removed a pro-democracy app from the Play Store. Google complied.
Centralized services will always be subject to this kind of coercion.
