The infinite layers of censorship

Tue, Jul 9, 2024, 10:04 AM · 22:05

Internet censorship has several layers: blocking RPCs, arresting devs, deplatforming users, just to name a few. Protecting against censorship is becoming increasingly important. We examine how censorship takes place at each level, and how to avoid it

Swarm Foundation

I work for the Swarm Foundation where I recently led the project Wikipedia on Swarm, to make a web3 censorship resistant copy of Wikipedia. Prior to that, I was community manager with the Golem Network. I have a MSc in Law, Anthropology and Society from the London School of Economics, where I focused on the interplay between State Secrecy and Democratic Governance. But my passion for freedom of speech goes way back: my father was a satirical cartoonist and a political journalist, he was often the target of censorship attempts so it’s a family affair.
