Part 9/13:
Kas raises alarm about recent legislative moves, such as the UK’s "Online Safety Bill," which threaten to undermine encrypted communications by imposing backdoors. He warns that such policies threaten the fundamental right to privacy and cryptographic security, essential in maintaining individual sovereignty.
He reflects on the digital age’s tendency toward surveillance and control—tools that, historically, have been used for genocides and repression. Yet he remains optimistic that cryptography, energy-based hashes, and decentralized systems like Bitcoin could invert this trajectory, offering defenses against state overreach.
