"Privacy is one of the conditions that helps neutral institutions remain credible and do their job."

A sharp piece from @CarrCenter on why privacy isn't a personal setting, it's institutional infrastructure. 🔒

Personal data has become fuel for targeted persuasion at scale, where different audiences see different stories about the same actor, with motives assigned and loyalties implied. The shared middle ground that humanitarian organizations, scientists, and journalists depend on erodes.

The same argument extends to the privacy infrastructure underneath the open internet. Whistleblower systems, anti-censorship tools, secure communications for journalists working sources in dangerous places.

The work is rarely glamorous and almost never fits a commercial funding model.

That's the layer the Internet Freedom Project, our quadratic funding round with @torproject, supports. Ten nonprofits, $115K match pool from @cakewallet, @ZcashCommGrants, @Logos_network, and @OctantApp, through June 19.

i feel bad for the artists that got used by others.

i feel indifferent for the artist that mismanaged their mint raises.

i feel frustrated by the artist the minted and dipped.

feels terrible being someone that supported all of the above

@0xthade i made increasingly poor decisions because of a few lucky breaks early on.

then 5 years of never "early" or rarely "right on time" to realize that the past was the anomaly.

thank you for sharing at prime apes. it's nice to know there was a non-joker or two in my experience.
