if alex jones is accepting credit card somewhere he's vulnerable. direct bank transfers are less vulnerable, but a giant pain in the ass for customers.
Sleeping Giants has pretty much killed the ad business for a lot of sites
ACH is pretty easy, if people are willing to set it up
but that's more for independent journalists than something like infowars
at the infowars scale, there are other options
It sounds like you're preparing for something far more radical than I'm talking about.
I am not preparing for anything radical
There are intermediary steps.
I simply have not accepted the blockchain as my personal lord and saviour
it will be used, where appropriate
and ignored where inappropriate
It is an alternative to banks.
not today
Yes, today.

Onion router.
yeah - the one who set it up
Will the dudes who designed Monero or whatever by locked up?

I am in the United States.
Freedom of Speech is not radical here. It is a constitutionally guaranteed right.
... and we don't need a bunch of surveillance and control to enjoy it.
I suppose that actually is radical from the perspective of the EU or UK.
The lefty response to that is to say "the government isn't preventing you from saying anything".
You do have a bunch of surveillance and control though, unfortunately
and that is correct
nobody has any right to force any of these platforms to carry them
...
we don't need blockchain tracking every transaction
and making that information available to the private company that implements the solution @Beemann
That's not what I'm talking about, but okay
we have all the NSA stuff
and the banks cooperate
so in that sense, there is already surveillance
but it's not as bad as silicon valley
The silicon valley stuff ties into NSA shit
