2.5.17. "Will strong crypto help racists?"
- Yes, this is a consequence of having secure virtual
communities. Free speech tends to work that way!
- The Aryan Nation can use crypto to collect and disseminate
information, even into "controlled" nations like Germany
that ban groups like Aryan Nation.
- Of course, "on the Internet no one knows you're a dog," so
overt racism based on superficial external characteristics
is correspondingly harder to pull off.
- But strong crypto will enable and empower groups who have
different beliefs than the local majority, and will allow
them to bypass regional laws.
