Summary: In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, the editor of TechforthePeople.org to discuss the libertarian mythology behind Web3 and the blockchain and how it only benefits entrenched players in the system, how the blockchain ultimately ends up as a recentralizing force, Meta’s removal of some surveillance programs from its platforms that targeted people and attempted to gain users’ trust in order to surveil their devices, and Missouri Governor Mike Parson’s prosecution of a journalist for exposing a privacy vulnerability on a government website.
