"For me, free expression is about possibility, and possibility always contains both and even multiple ends, the beautiful ones and the brutal in equal measure” says writer and open source advocate Shin Yang in our latest Speaking Freely interview https://www.eff.org/pages/speaking-freely-shin-yang

Shin Yang builds the kind of online space most platforms say is impossible: a sex-positive community that protects anonymity without turning users into data. She is the steward of Lezismore, an independent, self-hosted community for sexual minorities in Taiwan. It is built on open-source software and she is developing privacy-first governance as an alternative to identity gates and surveillance.

Happy bandcamp friday. Reminder that I never ask for money and would love for everyone to burn thru my 200 free monthly downloads whenever they please.
