The only downside is that most people can't afford to eat at those restaurants. 😭 🍕

It's why I support decentralised social media platforms based on the various protocols that exist today (AT, ActivityPub, Nostr).


In today’s digital age, freedom of speech is a fundamental right that we must fiercely protect. However, the rise of social media companies has introduced a new dynamic that challenges this freedom. These platforms, while providing a space for expression, also wield significant control over what we see, share, and say.

Social media companies have algorithms that curate our feeds, often prioritizing content that generates the most engagement. This can create echo chambers, limiting exposure to diverse viewpoints and reinforcing existing biases. Moreover, these companies have the power to censor content, sometimes arbitrarily, which can stifle important conversations and dissenting opinions.

The control exerted by social media companies over our digital lives raises critical questions about privacy, autonomy, and the true extent of our freedom of speech. It’s essential to remain vigilant and advocate for transparency and accountability from these platforms.

We must ensure that our voices are not just heard, but also respected and valued.

But money's been around for hundreds of thousands of years. We've all seen the evil that comes from money: The rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer. It's a tale as old as time.

Does it matter? I hope it becomes big all over the world. We need decentralised social media platforms today more than ever.

I do wonder, though... If Twitter/X hadn't been so controversial, would any of this have happened? Why isn't YouTube getting banned in Brazil? Or TikTok? I mean, TK is already banned across numerous regions and countries. Brazil is fine with it. It just doesn't like Twitter/X.


Twitter/X getting banned is hardly newsworthy. Banning VPNs (virtual private networks) and fining the people who use them is true censorship and an affront to Democracy.

Why? You see, you can determine that a person is using a VPN service, but you can't tell what website they're accessing. That's the whole point. So punishing a person just because they want to watch the Japanese version of Netflix is pure evil.

Yes, but the crypto industry is extremely volatile with zero laws and institutions to keep your assets safe. Also, and this is extremely terrifying, it's preyed upon by greedy CEOs like Sam Bankman-Fried who will take everything you've got because they have 💯 % access to everything you've got.

How you get over these hurdles? How do you invest safely? Most people know very little about crypto except that it's risky and scary.


Commentary: Washington should rectify strategic perception of China
==========

On August 30, 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to develop a correct strategic perception of China. Xi highlighted the importance of determining whether China and the U.S. are rivals or partners. He criticized U.S. politicians for viewing China as a long-term strategic competitor, which has led to a confrontational approach. Xi reiterated that China does not seek hegemony and is focused on peaceful development, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation. He pointed out that the U.S. must recognize the mutually beneficial nature of China-U.S. economic relations and the need for both countries to coexist peacefully.
