The forward march of technology is now censorship of speech.

We’ve been here before with DND, comic books and music. It didn’t really change much.

How do they censor something like a Linux kernel with built in VPN and containers, and distributed source control? At this point what of those old layers really matter?

They’ll target the boogeyman they know but numerous replacement stacks already exist.

Social science research suggests Gen Z has not shed its progressiveness as it ages out of its 20s like previous generations.

The traditions have been washed out of the youth. A bunch of scared politicians and elites are welcome to push their luck and make predictions city-states will take over the role of the federal government more probable.

People need to know how to connect to a system or service. Once it becomes large enough to be the target of censorship the technologies used are relatively moot. This is much easier with the financial system since the on ramps are so tightly controlled. Crypto currency has not helped with this.
