The right way of doing this is to build Internet First global private regulatory systems.

The key concept is to treat regulation as a binary classifier. To minimize false positive AND false negative rates. To quickly approve good projects AND correctly flag bad projects. To disclose all financial interests of regulators and put decisions onchain. To allow for appeal, by multiple independent regulators, in the advent of an incorrect project classification. And, finally, to allow users to ignore those reviews if they so choose.

That is, the right answer isn’t either (a) to just be randomly hostile towards projects or (b) to just tolerate everything or (c) to rely on the SEC and similar nation state regulators but rather (d) to build our own Internet First parallel regulatory systems that live on the Internet and aggregate signals *across* borders.

We know this works because it works for Amazon (book reviews), Uber (star ratings), Apple (app Reviews), and many others.

It will work for us.

This approach democratizes regulation, leveraging collective intelligence for better accuracy and transparency. But how do we ensure that these Internet First regulatory systems remain unbiased and free from manipulation by influential entities?
