In this episode, Danny O’ Brien, who’s been an activist for online free speech and privacy for over 20 years and is now a senior fellow with the Filecoin Foundation, tackles the world of internet censorship and how important it is for us all to get it right. He kicks off by explaining what things were like in the early days, or the “before times,” of the internet, and looks at how things are changing with decentralization and whether re-decentralization is a better word to use for what’s happening now. He also takes a dive into how decentralization can  enhance our civil liberties and considers what role blockchain technology will play in 30 years time.
