Techrights in Australia (IPFS and Gemini)

Summary: Allies in Australia will help Techrights serve material from another server; we're still bettering ourselves for an era of oppressive World Wide Web

THIS site turns 15 later this year. Over the past year we've put our eggs in more baskets, notably IPFS, Gemini and text files (which can be opened and read directly in a text editor, e.g. IRC logs and daily bulletins).



"Just remember that sites which expose corruption never have an easy time..."Yesterday we set up au.techrights.org (still work in progress) and we have some important work on the way. Preparation and expansion in the logistical sense is very important for us, seeing how a lot of people now recognise the harms of monopolists and social control media. The backlash against YouTube is huge right now (probably exceeding that of Twitter and Facebook backlash). People call for boycotts and the basis of the complaints is typically either censorship or money-related (Google paying a lot less or completely 'demonetising' those who create 100% of that site's "content", at their own personal expense).

Wikileaks Threatens CNN With Defamation Lawsuit After Assange Called ‘Pedophile’ on Live TVThe exploitation and/or abuse is being realised by a growing number of people and as we've just noted, Google pays professional trolls to 'cancel' people and to promote fake 'security' (back doors).

The video above generally speaks and also shows how a site like ours can expand outside the World Wide Web, with text files being passed around, shared in a P2P-like fashion (IPFS), and also in Gemini space (it's easier to set up a Gemini capsule than it is to set up a Web site; it just takes a little practice).

We'll hopefully return to covering EPO corruption as soon as this weekend. The Battistelli/Campinos cabal is still blocking our Web site because almost all EPO staff likes to read the site (the workers of the EPO want to understand the crimes of their bosses).

Just remember that sites which expose corruption never have an easy time; if the subject of criticism cannot block or silence -- sometimes intimidate -- those who pose a risk by reporting (real threat that the crooked will end up in prison, being held criminally accountable) proxies and 'useful idiots' (or professional trolls) will be recruited and/or paid.
