I built this site and the first draft of its content through a fellowship at the integrity institute. I thought it might be of interest to folks here!

To combat ‘violent extremism’ you apparently recommend the following:<p>‘No E2E Encryption When content is end-to-end encrypted, platforms can offer no content-based protections. Since violent extremism is typically illegal, recording traces to help identify it&#x27;s origin may reduce its prevalence.<p>Save Extensive Metadata Recording extensive metadata about sensitive activity can reduce criminal appeal.<p>Anonymous Limitations Require users to create an account before they can use features that create data or interact with others.’<p>All of this strikes me as extremely dystopian. Increasing and strengthening the panopticon is authoritarian to the core.<p>I have deep misgivings about people who are interested in strangling the anonymity of the web in the interest of a ‘safer world.’
