You want people to be able to contribute anonymously. You need an upvote/downvote system to be able to organize discussions. You want to keep bots out. Bots can generate comments indistinguishable from those produced by real users. Captchas are not enough, it's an endless race. Most people don't want to deal with crypto and blockchain stuff because it's complicated.

THEREFORE

Someone sell physical free speech coupons. Instead of paying 25 cents to buy a newspaper, you go to the newsstand and buy a bunch of coupons. With cash, wearing a mask if you want. Some newspapers or publications could also include free coupons.

To comment on a website using this system, you spend a coupon by typing its number or scanning it. Better, you have to scratch it first.

Your agreement with retailers says that they can't sell bulk to third-parties, they have to sell to individual humans.

Also, this creates a contractual relationship between you and the publisher, they can't delete your comment if it's legal or make bullshit changes to ToS. Make sure coupons are valid for at least a year.

This supports hosting costs, and I think it would make botfarms much more difficult and costly to operate.

Is this a dumb idea? Is there a weakness?

If not, please get some entrepreneur to implement something like this.

Dear freedom-loving Americans,

Even if you believe the NSA are the good guys, in the current context, you need to consider all electronic communication devices as compromised.

Just assume that anything that happens on or near an electronic device is forwarded to the nearest CCP embassy.

It doesn't matter if it uses crypto. It doesn' t matter if it's open source. There's a billion transistors and thousands of IP cores in any device, and millions of lines of code.

However, that doesn't mean you can't use them to communicate!

The key is obfuscation and coded language.

Don't even think of using steganography or crypto tools, those are the best way of making your comms stand out.

Remember, the enemy's limitation is not its ability to intercept the comms. The enemy's limitation is its ability to sift through comms and find the useful ones, especially automatically.

Blend in the crowd!

For tactical communications with known persons, do the following:

• Hide your messages in normal comms.
• Use pre-agreed clues and secret flags to point out the parts of your message that are true.
• Agree on those clues and flags on other channels. Example: You make a video talking of shape-shifting lizards (so you appear as a retarded conspiracy theorist), in the middle of which you give your message, indicated e.g. by rubbing your nose.
• Never be obvious. They already know which side you are on. Therefore don't pretend to be a leftist. Just play dumb Trump supporter.
• If you need to communicate with someone new, be very subtle, do not use anything that can be automatically detected (keywords and more). The message should contain something that doesn't make sense or is out of character.
• An easy technique is to use a book or magazine that both parties have or can obtain easily. Then you give e.g. page, line and word numbers. Disguise numbers as a price list or anything. Keep messages short. Remember, the goal is to avoid automatic detection. If they are specifically targeting you in-person (meaning a human is spending hours surveilling specifically you) you can't do much.

Another thing they do automatically is "contact tracing". They consider that you are infected with a "mind virus" and that you can transmit it to others by talking. Three techniques against this :

• Talk to a large audience but embed your personal messages. Example you make videos about boats and you have one hundred people watching them on Commietube. Tactical messages for a few people are embedded in those videos.
• Off-line drop boxes just like in the spy movies.
• Forward messages for other people. You give a couple messages in your boating channel, some other person will receive them, some of those messages are to be forwarded, he casually includes them in his CS2 chats, etc.

All of this sounds like ridiculous Tom Clancy novel cloak and dagger larping and would be so in normal times. Unfortunately we are no longer in normal times.

For talking on controlled platforms, you are already used to the different techniques :

• Use sarcasm, double-entendres, "just asking questions"
• Diversity is our strength! Meaning, don't copy-paste text or images as they are easy to automatically locate once flagged by the thought police. At a minimum, reword the text, modify the images by cropping, flipping, adding patterns, or re-doing them.

Hope this is useful. God bless and good luck.

Do you know that you can measure things like heartbeats from ordinary videos?

There are things that can be done to detect ear pieces that become possible or much easier with high quality video, especially if there is simultaneous footage from multiple cameras.

If you know how to and have the gear/software please record the debate in the rawest format possible and make the video or stills available for autists to analyze.

Maybe medfags can also make use of those videos to diagnose things such as... what was I saying? C'mon man!

A month and a half ago, Elon Musk tweeted about a document discussing the treatment of Wuhan Flu with hydroxycholoriquine with a link to a Google document written by two MDs.

I had bookmarked that document and wanted to check it today... surprise, surprise, it has been nuked by Google for violating their TOS:

Google link to original version

Thankfully the document is still available in different places.

I found the original tweet by one of the authors, one James Todaro. In the thread, someone made a Spanish translation. Surprise, surprise! The translation violates their TOS as well. Here is the link to the deleted Spanish translation

Just what exactly is Google's justification for this? Fuck Google.

PS. How long until a Microsoft Windows service pack starts deleting documents from your computer that Bill doesn't approve of?
