Mini Series : Dejourno 3 by EurekaJohnIn this episode, we explore various types of censorship and some of the web3 tools to deal with it. Censorship is most commonly thought of as almost a caricature of some prudish authority figure at the top burning books and punishing people for what they say. However, with the advancement of technology, censorship has taken on more subtle approaches such as agenda-setting theory, algorithmic exclusion, and shadow banning. The inner workings of these types of censorship are behind a veil controlled by centralized entities. Not all censorship is terrible; however, it should be a more democratic and transparent process. With web3, we hope to tear down this veil and let this process be transparent to all through decentralization using web3 tools.
This episode will focus specifically on censorship. Censorship is most commonly known by the obvious censorship attempts by the ‘Washington Wives,’ a group that set out to increase censorship in music in 1985 and fought against by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Jon Denver, and Frank Zappa. Then again, in 1988, with NWA vs. the FBI with the song Fuck the Police, among other cases. In the 90s, famous censorship debates raged when censorship took the form of Joe Biden wanting to ban PGP encrypted e-mail (which was previously military-grade encryption) and wanted back door access into everyone’s computers via the “Clipper Chip” in which the cypherpunks fought hard against and won.
As we progress and innovate in technology, new forms of censorship emerge. We are also being faced with protocol-level censorship.
Legit forms of censorship: Fact-checking, misinformation, pornography, anti-money laundering, anti-spam/scam. But who is in control of those tools?
Is the desire for ad revenue an inadvertent form of censorship? Are the agenda setting and topic of the content driven by the need for clicks and likes for revenue? Does this drown out the ability of journalists to focus on a topic like local news, investigative, and policy?
What are current tools to fight against censorship?
Will censorship be automated through AI? What does that look like?

I am your host, Humpty Calderon.Today we are chatting with Khori Whittaker, Executive Director of ENS.We open with an introduction to Khori, including his work in the education space. We discuss the importance of communicating the ideas and values of web3 and DAOs, to people outside our circle of crypto enthusiasts and advocates. Khori says, "we need to surface use cases that the world needs." In addition, he adds, "we need to create onramps with practical use cases," And quotes ENS as one of these. ENS as our digital identity makes interacting with crypto much more interesting, easier and fun. Lastly, we close on a discussion about the proposal that the ENS DAO community voted on to elect fund managers to manage the ENS Endowment.
To learn more about Khori and ENS, you can follow them on Twitter at @KhoriWhittaker and @ensdomains, respectively.Please don't forget to like and subscribe wherever you listen to this podcast.

We finally conclude on Web3 investigation platforms with the assistance of JournoDAO and other top architects in the web3 journalism area.
JournoDAO is an incubator for projects that transform and rethink the journalism ecosystem in the web3 space.
Listen to what our speakers have to say on the state of journalism today, its development, and how decentralization and web3 have affected it.
We intend to expose many of the cutting-edge apps currently being created to you, dear listeners. I sincerely hope you appreciate it and find it helpful in your cryptocurrency adventure.

Today we are chatting with Philip Silva, the Founding Advisor at BrightID.
We discuss digital identity, social graphs, and how BrightID works.
Philip says, "BrightID is a verification that you exist once within any given context."
Further explaining that BrightID can be used for different personas, allowing you the freedom to choose how you present yourself depending on the context.
BrightID also provides a level of Sybil resistance to applications that wish to validate that each person is participating once. They want anyone in the world to participate. But how do they validate that they are participating only once? He gives the example of the CLR Fund using quadratic funding to distribute $250,000 from the ETH Foundation to Latin American projects during ETHColombia.
Lastly, we go over the latest update to BrightID, Aura, a multiplayer game of sorts that anyone is welcome to play to help verify those they already know.
Philip says this is the future of BrightID!
To learn more about Philip and BrightID, you can follow them on Twitter @ubipromoter and @BrightIDProject, respectively.

Today we are chatting with Zakk, a core contributor at Coordinape.
Coordinape spreads decision-making power to the fringes, giving everyone in an organization an opportunity to recognize and reward their peers.
According to Zakk, leaving a note to people you recognize on Coordinape has become an important intrinsic motivator. "People might forget how many give they got or who they allocated to, but they always know exactly how many notes they got and who they got them from."
That feedback makes people feel valued.
About building in web3, Zakk says, "we can make it reflect the system that we want to participate in. We can create systems that better reflect our values."
To learn more about Zakk and Coordinape, you can follow them on Twitter at fifthworldzach and Coordinape, respectively.

Today we are chatting with Michael McGuiness, Co-founder of gm.xyz
We compare the different schools of thought on building decentralized social platforms, protocols vs. apps; we also touch on how we could connect with society at large to help people understand and care about decentralization; additionally, we discuss how decentralized social can improve the way people connect in web3 and govern communities.
There has been a lot of attention recently on building decentralized social platforms, a lot of this accelerated by the recent Twitter acquisition; this conversation highlights some of the reasons why those conversations are happening, how decentralized social can improve the way we make connections, find value-alignment with communities, share content, and retain the value of the work we put into social platforms.
There is always a lot to unpack.
