• Deplatforming, hashtags (#BLM) (#MeToo)

  • These were the tactics and weapons used in digital-mind warfare
  • You are what you consume (3-1c1b You are what you think and you think what you see, and you see what you think & 2-1a1a3a You’re the average of your five closest friends OR You’re the average of the people whose content you consume the most)
    • 12-1c Open source means more composability means more digitizeable and measurables
      • 6-3b2.4a Less volition within nation states leads to negative feedback loops of more coercion

• Politics was about whereabouts of server that hosts Trump’s Twitter account

  • But 6-3b3 Don’t think corporate network structure (especially its incentives) is the norm

• Politics will be about where the money is located (i.e., whether seizure resistant or not

  • 6-3a2 How you have something can (and will) matter more than what (you think) you have (e.g., DEX vs CEX - DEX will counter Maximalists movement)
    • 内容よりも形式 (9-2b1.1 形式の内容化もありうる (形式 ＞ 内容), 9-2b1 情報媒体が情報自体よりも情報力を持つこともある)
      • Or more precisely, 形式の内容化

• Pro-Palestine movement on the SNS indicates that the States have lost control over the internet

  • The US TikTok ban couldn’t be more indicative of that
