why does Merkel get her filthy paws in Polands jurisdictions?
They aren't doing that, yet.
Well, they're not geoblocking countries.
yet
cuz they don't have to
`companies can pressure ISP's to simply block social media`
About that, Telegram is still unblockable
They haven't managed to shutdown torrents, despite more than a decade of trying.
ANd IPFS is just torrents.
they haven't tried it honestly
cuz the western world is still too free
give it time, it will erode and you'll have China levels of control if we don't reverse it
We'd complain if they do it, start riots etc
Well I would prefer supporting alternatives *now* than rejecting them in the hope that the situation deteriorates to the point we have to resort to pitchforks (literally).
IPFS is torrents + detailed analytics
Point being,
I'd love it if it works, but its based on the assumption that only one of the factions "evolves" its technology
which simply is too big a risk for me
blockchain = audit trail
I agree that a blockchain is an audit trail.
Because teh state will get its grubby paws on blockchain.
Why do you think they are allowing it to survive for now.
cuz they don't see it as a threat
neither do i
it it just me that gets confused thinking they are on a bdsm server because of the name before they remember whos server this is?
There may be no threshold at which normies start rioting against Chinese-level censorship. The reasonable response to Apple/ADL imposing Chinese-level censorship on Apple customers would be to torch Apple stores.
No. They are allowing the open source community to innovate, and they will plagiarise those innovations and make all of this censorship look like absolutely nothing.
blockchain is also irrelevant to freedom
and potentially counter-productive
Well it's coming, like it or not.
exactly, they don't see it as a threat
They see it as the ultimate tool.
they = who ?
Blockchain fetishism is counter-productive, sure.
Which is what it is.
yes, until we find another way around
The state.
government/globalists/authoritarians/state
agreed re state - and also banking / globalists
The state will adopt the blockchain and censor/monitor every single transaction you make.
until we find....
