  • #techrights is going to expose lots of #corruption soon, esp. in eastern Europe (38 parts or more, a work in progress).

  • At some point in time we might want to check vaults as 'insurance' for SLAPP -- something that opens up when the exposed governments try to silence the publisher with threats. Basically, it is a deterrence strategy (like our use of IPFS), whose goal is to keep the SLAPP away by reducing #censorship prospects and thus incentive, like a canary or dead man's switch that sings a decryption key/passphrase.         ☞
