EPO Corruption: Internet Censorship or Why the World Wide Web and DNS Aren't Enough When You Speak Truth to Power

Summary: We're about to release a series about EPO and Montenegro, a country as notorious as today's EPO when it comes to attacks on free press; the video above discusses censorship and what we're still doing to tackle the problem (the EPO censors inwards and outwards, sometimes using bribes and blackmail)

THE epo.org propaganda machine has not said anything since its bizarre celebration of a country with one patent application per year (about 20,000 times less than Germany, a country with 134 times as many citizens). That's just "Voting Fodder" for autocrats.

"As the video above notes, we're embracing more protocols to lessen the incentive to censor us or even attempt to do this (wasting our time, to our inconvenience)."The EPO pivots in a truly terrible direction. Founding states and key applicant states are being drowned in a sea of voting fodder, by their very own admission. The EPO is out of control and it's not run by scientists; it's run by corrupt politicians from banks. Accordingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, today's EPO undergoes a process of "financialization".

As the video above notes, we're embracing more protocols to lessen the incentive to censor us or even attempt to do this (wasting our time, to our inconvenience). The EPO, like rogue states, has a long tradition of blackmailing publishers and threatening truth-tellers.

"The EPO has already hired multiple law firms to threaten me. Now it's celebrating Montenegro!"Next month we'll publish a series about EPO management and Montenegro. The country is known (or notorious) as a fierce enemy of democracy as it ranks notoriously low on press freedom and the EU therefore rejects it. Why does the EPO celebrate an impending accession? What does that say about the EPO? Montenegro attacks journalists, just like the EPO...

Apropos, we're still learning the facts about what WIPO did to a domain with many articles, using "trademarks" as a weapon of censorship despite the basis being entirely invalid (the "trademark" was in the Public Domain, based on a former Project Leader who suggested relinquishing it). It seems like freedom of speech online is a dying dream. Oligarchs and autocrats no longer tolerate dissent. The EPO has already hired multiple law firms to threaten me. Now it's celebrating Montenegro!

Montenegro convicts Jovo Martinović again, jeopardizing EU accession
Maybe EPO wants Russia too to join? The EPO already embraces Lukashenko's Belarus
