It's becoming increasingly clear how easily authorities weaponize "safety concerns" to justify sweeping restrictions. The pattern repeats: first comes a vague threat, then the machinery of control activates. Every controversial moment becomes ammunition for tightening the noose around digital freedoms. They don't need legitimate reasons anymore—any incident serves as convenient cover for the next layer of censorship. The narrative shifts so quickly that by the time people question it, the new restrictions have already become normalized. This is precisely why decentralized systems matter. In a landscape where gatekeepers constantly expand their authority under the pretense of protection, truly open networks become essential infrastructure for preserving what's left of unrestricted communication.
