“The next global arms race will be in the digital economy, not space,” Armstrong speculated. “Bitcoin could be as foundational to the global economy as gold and will become central to national security in a world where holdings of Bitcoin can shift the balance of power among nation-states.”

Meta’s commitment to free speech apparently doesn’t extend to backlinks to decentralized social media networks. According to a 404 Media report, Facebook has been actively removing links to Instagram competitor Pixelfed and Mastodon, an open-source social networking service.

Less than a week later, it became clear that Zuckerberg’s commitment to free expression doesn’t include decentralized social media competitors like Pixelfed and Mastodon. When Facebook users tried to link to these platforms, they were met with “spam” notifications and their posts were purged immediately.
