There's no point in getting caught up into trying to convince people about the corruption going on, instead we should focus most of our energy in changing the system.

So far nobody's been able to figure out a way to do both. If it's simple enough for the public to use it (the people we are trying to reach) then there's always human-moderated control that will censor information.

I totally see where you're coming from. I want to start chatting with people on secure platforms like Element, but they keep insisting on using Telegram (which requires a phone number), or worse... Discord.

Funniest idea I've heard was launching a server into orbit around the moon, followed by launching a relay into Earth orbit, and then use Starlink dishes to receive and transmit the data. It would totally work, but nobody is going to spend the $8m to create "free-speech Internet 2.0" only to end up instantly in jail when they admit they can't shut it down.

This... could actually be a genius idea. 8 million dollars is not that much, globally speaking. And I'm not sure such a satellite could be taken down without risking Kessler syndrome...

Jokes aside, a more realistic approach would be to fix public schools.

At this point I think the only way to do this would be near-universal homeschooling.

Giving a kid a textbook, telling them to memorize it, and lying to their face that their problems will go away with a degree and job they hate won't work forever.

Well said. I agree with the rest of your prescriptions relating to schooling too. Kids need to be taught how to think, not what to think. It's cliche to say that at this point, but it's so true.

Apologies for being pessimistic, but I think the war of public persuasion might already be lost if we are unable to speak freely online.

I don't think it's over. I think there's actually a few decentralized or blockchain-based platforms already out there. We just need mass awareness and adoption of them.

When I asked them, "Why the Moon? Why not use the relay itself?" He posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxfk5eWlbQo

In theory, a cheap $1m server in orbit could be used for 5 years before eventually burning up, but the problem is that the government can destroy it with ease. By having the main server around the moon it prevents the main system from being threatened, while allowing for other actors with the money to launch their own relays in orbit forcing all relays to be removed for the connection to be lost.

All we need is one rich person willing to take the fall. Life in prison is a lot to ask from a multi-millionaire. Even more so when you consider that 5 year operational window.
