The need for decentralized media has reached a crescendo. The government can no longer be trusted to protect our right to free speech. We need a technical solution (in the spirit of Bitcoin) that removes government from the equation. I don't want a panel of judges or a body of lawmakers or an agency of bureaucrats or a trust & safety team anywhere in the world thinking they can regulate speech or otherwise get between me and the people or services I want to connect with. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, free assembly, free association, etc. Yet here we are with the SCOTUS deciding who can infringe those rights and by how much. This case doesn't even scratch the surface of the highly organized censorship industrial complex run by the federal government in blatant violation of the Constitution, which the First Amendment was expressly written to protect against. The next few years are going to be wild. If you're counting on government to protect you, I think you'll be disappointed.

If you're still unsure as to why we need Decentralized Social Media (really all media), watch this mind-blowing interview with Mike Benz on Tucker Carlson. The censorship industrial complex is very real, very powerful, and it's been in place for quite a few years. If you're not there already, you need to start asking yourself, what good are private property rights without free speech rights? Without Democracy, what's left of government to guarantee any of your civil rights? Will you be permitted to own anything? Can you stack sats if you're barred from having a livelihood for unpopular speech or criticizing an oppressive government?
