Welcome to Freedom.Tech, a global hub championing Bitcoin builders, open-source developers, educators, and privacy tech pioneers.
Join the freedom tech movement today and learn how we can use technology in the fight for human flourishing and freedom.
We've been working hard behind the scenes over the past few months to launch a new content hub that lets you find content on the bleeding edge of technology, learn how you can take actionable steps in the fight for freedom, and amplify your own voice by writing unique content.

What is the "Freedom Tech" Movement?

From the earliest days of the Internet, an ongoing struggle has existed between those who would use the immense potential of this new technology to control or suppress human freedom, and those who would use it to empower the individual and promote human flourishing. This struggle has taken many forms over the decades, starting with the cryptoanarchists in the 1980’s and the cypherpunks of the 1990’s, both of which shared a common goal of enabling individual freedom through the use of cutting-edge technology.
Just as us humans strive for freedom, information in the digital age “longs to be free.” The “freedom tech” movement is a burgeoning grassroots movement that aims to encourage the optimistic, untethered development and use of technologies by people from all backgrounds, languages, and cultures across the globe. Freedom tech allows us to slow a rise in authoritarianism, fight back against encroaching surveillance capitalism, and empower journalists, dissidents, and activists everywhere.
We believe that the freedom tech movement closely aligns with that of the open source movement, and we hold the ideals of free and open-source software closely. While the freedom tech movement has no central authority or leader to dictate its aims, we have laid out the aspects of technology we consider vital to the movement below. Freedom tech should be:
✅ Free and open source
✅ Without usage restrictions
✅ Privacy-preserving
✅ Resistant to censorship
Quite simply, "freedom tech" is technology that empowers you.

With this launch we've included a few original blog posts, and are working hard to get some of the best writers in the space involved and amplifying their content on Freedom.Tech.

Love anything that involves Seth ... However what exactly is the site, on quick perusal it appears to be a blog?
reply
Blog for now, but will be expanding to a podcast shortly, and already working on getting multiple other writers/contributors onboard.
reply
yes yes! its growing!

Also Seth for Privacy is involved right? I really enjoyed the content he made on his podcast OptOut https://optoutpod.com/ and this SN post is a friendly reminder I still have to listen to some episodes.
Another question (which is also a self-research topic on my site) about FOSS and licenses: do you have resources with the explenations of all licences which are involved in the FOSS space? It's getting a complex topic over time which deserves more simplifications for a better understanding imo. Just look at this list https://opensource.org/licenses/

  1. Yes, he's the editor-in-chief and main driver behind it :) You can expect Opt Out-style podcast to come to the Freedom.Tech domain/family in the next few weeks as well, as we expand Journey to Sovereignty to be a more broadly "freedom tech" focused podcast in the vein of Opt Out!
  2. Not in one place, sadly, it's quite fragmented and most of the common licenses have their own sites and documentation etc.

We should really look at a non centralized (e.g. Microsoft ) github. I feel dirty every time I look at that site.

Your site buries NOSTR and promotes Monero.
Blocked for shitcoining.
