Perhaps the best thing we can do, who aren't devs, is to be as informed as we can about alternative protocols to the web, such as Tor, I2P, and manage to inspire our peers to adopt them, or at least be prepared to adopt them.
Crypto people will find Tor quickly, if the devs respond in time, because they like their money, and will not want to see it taken from them by censoring it. Serious researchers and actual journalists will too, for the same reason.
But legacy media will do their best to keep the chattel in their corral, and many, many people will be proud of their compliance, of themselves not being cast into the outer darkness with criminals, perverts, and ne'er do wells, which is certainly how it will be spun. Fakebook has long maintained a .onion addy, perhaps anticipating this day, as one of the primary architects of censorship.
In the event censors get serious about compromising Tor, it could be over. I don't know well the math regarding it. Perhaps just understanding better how to squirm around censorship, and how to explain to people how dangerous censorship is, may be the best thing we non-devs can do.
We need to defend our tongues so that we can continue to speak the truths the censors fear their victims knowing.
Thanks!
Not gonna lie, this stuff scares me more than anything I faced in my past. Invisible enemies with armies scattered around the globe, media and government on the payroll, and hell bent on the subjugation of mankind? Yeah this sucks. It’s palpable though. I wish I could convince myself that you’re nuts and this is all just wild conspiracy theory, but no amount of blue pills could unsee what we’ve seen. It’s real, it’s in plain sight, and the worst thing is that they’ve weaponized the population to consume itself. Thanks for the response, I’ll be doing what I can to learn more about Tor and .onion addresses.
I feel this every day. I have begged here for people to please, please prove I'm wrong. No one even tried.
I've been researching Tor, and perhaps I2P would be preferable given what I've learned. Better both TBQH, because more ports in storms gives more options, and I've read some opinions that Tor is more controlled by spooks than is understood.
I haven't read this yet, but just the description gives me pause.
We need more and better options, and we need them as soon as possible.
