Last week Paypal, announced (and later backtracked) that it would impose a morality tax on its users, fining them for misinformation.
The financial industry has a long history of trying to curtail speech:
In 2010, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal infamously suspended payments to Wikileaks after the non profit began to expose war crimes and government corruption.
In 2021 Only Fans announced it would start banning sexually explicit content, which is the whole point of the platform, citing pressure from “banking partners and payout providers.”
There have been free speech organizations cut off from payment services, independent media outlets blocked, privacy advocates banned.
Entire industries like medical marijuana have been targeted by and cut off from the financial system as part of Operation Chokepoint, which was a secretive initiative that intended to “choke off” businesses from financial services so that they couldn't survive.
Just this week Kanye West was told he and his business could no longer use Chase bank.
Unfortunately we live in a world where organizations that defend freedoms, challenge mainstream narratives, or hold governments accountable for corruption are cut off from the payment rails of society. Our money has been weaponized.
So how do we reclaim freedom of speech and choice?

Your Credit Card is Spying on You! Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

https://youtu.be/rHFdXrre1Zk
Many of us are finally waking up to how important privacy is, and yet we don't think twice when we swipe our credit card.
Each time we opt to pay with plastic, our data is shared by our banks, the card network, the store, the point of sale system, the retailer's bank, our financial apps. And then all those entities share it with thousands more.
In this video we dive into financial privacy, and give you a glimpse of how much information gets shared about you through your financial choices.
We also look at why it's risky to use traditional financial tools when making donations to causes you care about, and dive into 2 groups that are innovating in the donation world.
00:00 Intro
00:56 6 Businesses That Share Your Data
03:37 China
04:44 Cash
04:53 Masked Credit Cards
05:01 Donation Risks
06:10 Benefits of Permissionless Payment Methods
06:59 Pitfalls of Traditional Fundraising Platforms
07:21 Why Use Crypto to Donate?
08:27 Free2Z
10:38 Flipstarter
13:40 Outro
When it comes to supporting causes that you believe in, crypto can be a powerful tool. It can make your contribution more private, make sure the money actually reaches its destination. and it's accessible to anyone in the world. The more we dive into this world, the more we fight against financial surveillance.

https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Signal-Proxy-Server:e
The internet is often controlled and censored in times of civil unrest. Governments can block certain services, like access to websites or apps, or they can even shut off the internet entirely.
That’s exactly what’s going on in Iran at the moment. The government has partially shut down the internet as a result of protests, and they have also blocked access to the secure and private messaging app, Signal.
There are ways we can help: Set up a proxy signal server that Iranians can connect to, allowing them to communicate privately and securely during a hostile situation.

These are consumer-grade surveillance tools that can record activities in and around your property — but should you put them in your home?
