@paradigm Precisely.

It is already underway.

and i do understand it, but i'm not gonna bother proving to you cuz its the internet, for all i know you're Obama, and i'm a shoe-salesman

And if it is in the wrong hands (i.e. not everyone's, i.e. not decventralised) we're fucked. Permanently.

You clearly don't.

Sorry.,

thats not an argument

Yes it is.

pigeon carrier!

It is an argument that you didn't, and evidently still don't, understand the solutions being proposed to the problem of censorship./

>>> we had the solution, years ago - we spent billions to kill it

Ok.

So what do you all propose?

web 2.0 effectively concentrated control in very few hands

heres your argument
"You're obviously too dumb to understand what I an enlightened person says, so i don't have to bother explaining my sales-pitch to you"

that was COSTLY

facebook, alone, burned 600 million before turning a profit

How to we ensure that people like Tim Pool, one of the few remaining honest journalists, is not financially censored by the current monopolies?

lol, TCP/IP itself used to be hyped as censorship-resistant.

youtube, netflix, twitter, etc. burned more

My argument isn't that you're dumb. Although you may be. It's that you don'

there you go

the financial aspects will have to be the second phase

t (want to) understand.

no substance

>You're too dumb
"Then explain it to me
>I won't, cuz you're too dumb

SJW arguing in a nutshell

Where is your substance, apart from "something I evidently don't understand won't work because I say so".

first we need to extend open protocols and embrace those that truly are resistant to censorship

I esxplained it to you, with as much effort as I'm prepared to invest. You're evidently not interested in attempting to udnerstand.,

i'm not the one advocating for a supposed "holy grail" that you can get on faith

does everyone remember how bittorrent was censored?

BT tracker sites were banned.

There are plenty still around.

the malware spread did more than the trackers

I may or may not use bittorrent all the time.

and we can decentralize the trackers

There's that risk, for sure.

If i use any torrent software, it's for perfectly legal sharing.

And I am not hiding.

Sure.

I extended bittorrent with crypto signatures for verifiability and source identity
