Regulation by whome, exactly? At least in its current state, I get to choose between my state-sponsored media attacks... If your opaque point is that we need to break these companies up for... reasons... (Because maybe Russia-something?) Th

You lose the moral high ground once you practice any one of those--at which point you're actively undermining your own message in the public eye. Hell, your opposition will probably be accusing you of those things (or planting people w

Hypothetically speaking, what's keeping this from being instigated by any three letter agency under the guise of Russian influence?

I agree. Is that a reference to a quote? The more popular anti-establishment rhetoric becomes, the more that rhetoric will be adopted by those who wish to use it toward their own ends. Be wary of what you assume to be true. I'm thinkin

So you would trust anything he says on face value? Regardless of what he might stand to gain? My only point is that having a substantial amount of faith in anyone, when the stakes are high, is folly. That's the entire point of blockcha

>So the claim that Snowden is a proponent of Zcash because he has invested in it has no merit. Maybe you're using hyperbole. The /suspicion/ at least, has plenty of merit. I agree that doing something like that would go ag
