Stella Assange: Appeal Update | Logos Podcast with Jarrad Hope

Robert Gehl and Jarrad Hope discussed the misconceptions and societal impacts of dark web technologies, emphasizing how they're often unfairly characterized by their negative uses, overshadowing their potential for positive, discreet communication and community building. Gehl shares his exploration into alternative social media and encryption technologies' ethical implications, particularly focusing on anonymity's role in protecting users' identities and enabling free speech. Through their dialogue, they touch on the challenges of decentralization and the struggle against the centralization tendencies of large tech companies, highlighting the importance of maintaining small, interconnected communities over large, dominant networks. The conversation also explores the idea of creating a cyber-state or virtual space that respects privacy and freedom, underscoring the necessity of encrypted communication as a fundamental right and safeguard against tyranny.RESOURCES:Jarrad Hope X - https://twitter.com/jarradhope_Robert Gehl: https://www.robertwgehl.org/Move Slowly and Building Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media: https://fossacademic.tech/2023/08/17/OxfordUP.html
