Free Speech is under direct attack by the major players in Web 2.
It has gotten to the point where people are afraid to speak up or say a certain word in fear of getting demonetized or worse.
On Twitter, I am seeing tweet after tweet about how someone has been banned from some Web 2 platform, without explanation. All their work gone in the blink of an eye. History erased. Twitter seems to be the last patch of free internet land on Web 2, and they do a good bit of censoring themselves.
This is a very slippery slope. As you know, I am a co-founder of @threespeak - a free speech platform built on HIVE. We are committed to preserving free speech and I will give my life to defend it.
Freedoms are not taken all at once. They are taken one inch at a time. First, they take the low hanging fruit to condition you into accepting small freedoms being taken. Inches gone are not noticed until they become miles. By that time, it’s too late...
We are on HIVE!!! An immutable blockchain that is the very essence of what Web 3 is and should be. Here you can speak freely, and your words will be heard.
This initiative is to share why Free Speech is important to you.
- What does Free Speech mean to you?
- Do you believe Free Speech is worth saving? If yes, why do you believe it is important?
