Privateness is heads, censorship resistance is tails. They’re two sides of the identical coin.
All the pieces individuals do collectively is inherently interactive. When these interactions can’t be performed privately, once they change into widespread public data, the individuals could be subjected to exterior strain. They are often shunned, shamed, jailed, or penalized in lots of different methods.
With out privateness you don’t have any censorship resistance. With out privateness, most individuals will censor themselves.
On this first episode, I sit down with Yuval Kogman from Spiral to debate privateness within the trendy digital period.

These bread crumb trails, together with the computing know-how that created them within the first place, has radically modified the atmosphere through which individuals work together with one another, significantly the place some type of energy asymmetry exists (i.e. the governing vs. the ruled).
These with the potential to select up and analyze these bread crumbs can apply know-how to exert disproportionate management over different individuals.
