Twitter Proves Why We Need Censorship Proof Decentralized Blockchain Based Platforms
April 28, 2022 8:31 pm Leave your thoughtsFor years I have been saying that we need to embrace the crypto market at large. Not just Bitcoin but the larger crypto market as a whole. This means embracing ALT coins and the new products and services that come with them. Why? Because cryptocurrency can fix many issues. Some but not limited to:
- It can help alleviate the broken monetary system.
- It bank’s the unbanked.
- It can preserve privacy in a world where surveillance is growing at an alarming rate.
But it can also help fight corruption. This corruption exists on many levels, in government, in the monetary system but also in tech. To combat these things, we need to invest beyond just Bitcoin itself.
The purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk has proven that we need to adopt blockchain based platforms that are immutable, decentralized and censorship resistant. Since it has been announced that Elon will be purchasing the platform. We have seen some questionable things happening on the platform.
Conservatives Getting Followers
Since the approval of the take over by Musk. Conservatives, libertarians, skeptics and basically anyone that is not onboard with the cathedral of the far left has seen an explosion of followers and engagement on twitter. This is proof positive of something we have all known for years, that tech companies shadow ban anyone that does not agree/go with their narrative.
Progressives Losing Followers
We have also on the inverse seen progressive, liberals and far leftists lose followers. This suggests that Twitter itself at the platform level was not only shadow banning dissenters but also artificially inflating the follower count and engagement of far leftists.
Control Of The Narrative
Elon did not just buy a platform, he also bought the evidence of the corruption involved in the platform (which is likely being destroyed as we speak). Evidence that would prove to the complacent masses that for years now, Twitter has been a tool for social control by corrupt politicians, corporate entities, leftist political zealots and extremists. They have been using the platform as a playground where their views have been promoted and pushed to trickle down to the every day masses. Resulting in the masses believing that big authorities support certain things and that they should support it too. All the while suppressing opposing opinions so that it looks like there is a consensus where there is in fact none.
As stated above, the evidence is likely being destroyed as we speak. They are probably deleting code which was behind the algorithms that were shadow banning anyone with conservative views/anti leftist views. which is resulting in the reversal trend in followers and engagement. At the end of the day it always has been about control.
Covid Shills
We seen this with the crazy and irrational happenings during covid. People calling for the loss of jobs and livelihoods by those who disagree with mask mandates and forced injections of experimental medicine. Not only was the narrative pushed and promoted but anyone who did not agree was silenced or worse banned. This resulted in everyday people parroting and retweeting what bigger accounts were pushing. Perpetuating the flow of the narrative.
Ministry of Truth
As a result of the far left loosing their platform, the US government has announced a “Ministry of Truth”. You see, Twitter (and other western based big tech companies) have so far been proxies for the government. To put it simply: Imagine the CCP of China. They are a totalitarian government with all authority. So for them they have no need to use a proxy to control its citizens. But western countries who aspire to become like the CCP have a problem, constitutions limit the power they can possess. So they have to use proxies like big tech companies to do their bidding for them.
Western governments have been inch by inch pushing the masses further and further to except authorities on “truth”. We seen this with Facebook and Twitter having “fact checkers” who turned out to be biased. Really they were just shilling far left propaganda.
Now that people are used to a sort of “truth police” the Biden administration is now making a Ministry of Truth.
Of course they will say it’s for “security” but in all reality its the making up for the loss of the control of the twitter platform.
Blockchain and Crypto Fixes this
The town square, be it physical or digital, must be a neutral place where anyone can voice opinions. We must let the free market of ideas be just that. The best ideas can then rise to the top and for this to happen tech platforms must be censorship proof, decentralized, without an owner (which is like having a digital king) and immutable. It has to be this way by design and at the base level for this to work. This is why it is imperative that the crypto market be open to new decentralized projects and platforms that can help expand the entire market at large. Also incubate new technologies that will fix actual problems in the world, even if those projects have their own token.
Right now everyone is looking for Twitter reform (which is a start). But I advocate for new blockchain based platforms to be birthed and adopted by the crypto community that have the features discussed baked into the cake.
