Building Zuka - What Freedom Fighters from East Africa Taught Me in the HRF's Hackathon
Aimable Karasira died in custody the day he was supposed to be free. Governments kill one person to silence thousands. At HRF's hackathon, we built Zuka - a "digital Guy Fawkes mask" using Nostr, Bitcoin, and AI to give activists voices that can't be traced, shut down, or killed.
Visibility Wars: Algorithmic Power and Bitcoin as a Modern Hybrid
This essay analyzes the emerging "War for Visibility" within the digital landscape, a concept directly inspired by the latest Financial Freedom Report from the Human Rights Foundation (HRF). The report highlights a critical shift in authoritarian tactics, specifically detailing how the Chinese state is moving beyond mere technical censorship to actively scrub the very idea of Bitcoin from recommendation algorithms and search results. The conclusion asserts that the only viable response to algorithmic suppression is the reclamation of individual infrastructure. Seizing control through self-custody and independent node operation are not merely technical choices; they are the ultimate sociological acts of resistance against a system of programmable control.
