I’ve been reading “The age of surveillance capitalism” and the author posits that once social networks start censoring users, they become responsible for the moderation of the platform Today tech CEOs testified at Congress and it seems that majority of the senators want *higher* moderation on these platforms

My q to the philosophy channel is how do you build an uncensored social platform at scale when there is harm such as CP, sextortion, scams, bots etc. In this context harm is subjective. I don’t mean harm = illegal. CP is illegal, sending 1000 $DEGEN and getting 10k back is a scam but not illegal. They are both bad.

censor at the client all you want. just let the protocol be permissionless, both in writing and reading (many clients). e.g. email: google can kick me off gmail but no one can kick me off of SMTP (this is actually a bad example because spam prevention wars centralized email too)

Okay I don’t know the details (and I am not technical) but is SMTP hosted on their own servers/cloud? Otherwise they are also at their mercy of censorship via Google cloud, AWS, cloudflare etc.

yeah self-hosted. (again not a good analogy because self-hosting emails has all sorts of issues). but think about it conceptually: twitter's great, FB is great, instagram is great. it's just that web2 is problematic where they're not just the client (like Gmail) but they're the whole thing (SMTP + server + GMAIL).

Is there anyone that does decentralized hosting? Sounds abstract and I don’t know if it exists but I feel like maybe it should?
