Summary: To make Techrights more widely accessible and more difficult to block/censor we've been making further changes, including self-hosting where possible

THE site or the "project" (so to speak) Techrights is making a lot of changes, even if most of them are not directly visible. We're still working on a bunch of code. We also try to improve breadth of access, seeing the censorious atmosphere the Web rapidly becomes notorious for. Right now we have the IPFS index in Gemini (gemini://gemini.techrights.org/ipfs/), just in case something happens to the Web (as in World Wide Web) site. Thinking pessimistically isn't irrational; you cannot do much about censorship after it happens, so preparation in advance (a priori) is essential, e.g. "insurance files".



"We also try to improve breadth of access, seeing the censorious atmosphere the Web rapidly becomes notorious for."In part 10's appendix and part 11 from last night we're starting to show documents unearthed from the past. We suppose Benoît Battistelli is very unhappy about it and his friend António Campinos has been blocking us in every office he controls since day one (in all EPO facilities!).

The video above discusses some of the things happening behind the scenes and why it's perfectly reasonable to publish what we publish. It's "public interest" material.
