In the 90s the US government called encryption a weapon. Same export list as missiles. They went after the man who wrote PGP and built a case to put him in prison.

His side didn’t fight it.

They printed the source code as a book and walked it through every airport on earth, because you can’t ban a book.

They beat the most powerful government on the planet with a printing press.

That exact move is happening again right now. It’s the reason nobody can deplatform you here. Most people have no idea they’re standing inside it.

This is the fight you’re already in. Read it
