Network States

🚨 Two founders of Vocdoni are among the 65 people spied on in #Catalangate, the largest cyber-espionage case ever uncovered, thanks to Citizenlab. It’s been 958 days since it came to light.

Now Ronan Farrow has made a documentary for HBO:

It’s clear some States fear trustless & censorship-resistant tech, especially when it empowers citizens. Cyber-espionage against projects like Vocdoni shows how far they’ll go to stop it.

Vocdoni was targeted simply for building a permissionless, censorship-resistant voting protocol. Network States must prepare to face these kinds of attacks.

Hmm.. In my part of the world, "Network States" are a specific type of Techno-Zionist political project, with an open agenda of limiting voting rights to supporters of the corporate surveillance state.

In balajis own words here:

Used as described, a voting tool could be a tool of oppression rather than liberation. I suppose a lot of folks are wanting to keep on eye on this tech, regardless of their intentions.
