In a slightly parallel universe, it’s going to be quite hilarious if all of the decentralised technologies are going to end up being developed by the types of anti-vaxxers, holocaust deniers, neo-nazis because they were the only ones needing them (and not the illusory political dissidents). So in the end it’s going to have a positive impact.
Here’s a supporting example: Snowden didn’t need any of this tech to share it with us. Paedophiles and drug dealers use Tor.
I am not being entirely serious.
- pnako 6y agoIt's not that simple. In the west it's the "alt right" or similar that needs to bypass censorship. But in China, it's pro-democracy people. Even inside a country, it changes. Dissenters 50 years ago are not the same ones as today. The left protested globalization 20 years ago; today it's the right. My point is: we should let all ideas out there and not fight to censor the other side. Fight ideas with arguments and evidence, not censorship.
