I have observed that the term "human rights" as preached by the words is a fraud. I saw this because some humans are not more humans than others and if such term were anything to take serious, most of the atrocities happening in the Middle East, Africa and some other place in the world would not happen. There are just so much double standards going on and the UN is just so docile to actually enforce anything. Free speech itself is only free when it is not spoken against those that have the power to make the rules.

My guess is that most problematic aspect is the inconsistency with which the principles are implemented. If a specific nation breaches are met with criticism while similar offenses in other nations go unchecked due to geopolitical interests, individuals will become skeptical of these groups.

Thus, I believe that an organization should be evaluated based on what it does, other than accepting it at face value merely because it espouses values such as human rights and democracy.

I'm still trying to understand the relationship between Bitcoin and free speech. What I find amusing sometimes is the fact that crypto enthusiasts seem to arrogate the technology, use that it isn't really meant for. The technology do have its own limits and can't necessarily be expected toi be a magic wand that solves every problem.

Nevertheless, if the issue is making payments that are not traceable because of free speech, I think that privacy coins fit this utility more than Bitcoin. I mean privacy coins like XMR.

The simple fact behind this is that Bitcoin is decentralized and while no government can actually blacklist any Bitcoin address or block the transactions received via Bitcoin because it is clearly secured by POW consensus, any whistle blower or country or group can use Bitcoin to keep their work alive even when the banking system or other government backed financial system fails in that regard.

So free speech can be sustainable by using Bitcoin to fund it and even the Blockchain can be used to embed messages, cryptographic proofs, historical documents via using data fields like OP_RETURN and it can't be deleted or tempered with by any government or body that is against it.

There will probably never be an actually 'good' government just like there will rarely ever be a lot of money in one place with out evil behind it.  There will not be one such government that would last long enough to matter at least.  Movies always end with the bad guys dying and losing, but reality looks like the exact opposite.  The good people will rarely ever end in ranks as high as the sitting President, Secretary of State, Prime Minister and what not.  These ranks have a pre requisite of bathing in a pool of mud, and I can not imagine how any good can ever come out of what is a long time sitting, high concentration of bad and evil.

After all, the slogan "Bitcoin can be used to promote free speech" is just a propaganda used by rival groups to sponsor their narrative in countries where they are the underdogs (or in countries they want to destabilize). And as consequence, it has nothing to do with promoting free speech at all, rather it's about promoting the narrative of the opposite's group to the local establishment.

Those who are really autonomous and independent on their views have nobody behind them interested in promoting such views. They are by themselves, and unless they earn Bitcoin by working somehow, nobody is going to deposit the currency to support them in anyways.

If I understood the original post properly, I think he is not talking about anonymous funding at as Bitcoin has already addressed that.

In my opinion I think he is asking how a social network can be created that will be as interactive and popular as platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc with total anonymity just like Bitcoin such that people can air their opinions without any fears of being tracked down and attacked or eliminated by tyrant regimes in countries like Nigeria or Iran.

While Bitcoin core is about funds, this suggested network will be about information/social interaction in a working mechanism tailored to mimick Bitcoin core.

This is a great idea but its possibility might prove tricky but never say never.

What an interesting post because of the way stuff you say are completely unrelated and yet you seem to believe they are related to each other and to what I said; like these two sentences that sum everything up! Perhaps because you were never on the receiving end of it but "your side" has always been only on the supplying end.

So let me translate things for you using your own words and put the shoe on the other foot a little bit so that my initial comment becomes clearer and maybe you understand the real difference between "opposition" and "foreign-funded terrorism".

You said people have the right to be in disagreement with their government. I completely agree and I even go as far as saying they have the right to overthrow that whole system if they see fit (we did that 47 years ago when we replaced the US-backed dictatorship and established democracy).
Now lets take Germany. A large portion of Germans dislike the Supreme Chancellor Merz, and that hatred is increasing year by year as the economic situation worsens and he keeps funding Zionists helping them commit genocide. As I'm typing this thousands of them are protesting against the German regime in downtown Berlin.

Now imagine an alternate world where Russia has an organization called "De-Nazifying Foundation" that received donations in bitcoin to fund "opposition" groups in Germany to "protest" against Supreme Chancellor Merz because as you said yourself "there are currently no really good governments at all" and "citizens need to have the right to be in disagreement with their governments" and since Germany is considered highly authoritarian all of that makes perfect sense.

And lets say in that alternate world the group the "De-Nazifying Foundation" funds is called "Freedom Movement of Germany" and its motto is "Free and Democratic Germany". Some cases of their "opposition" is assassinating scientists and university professors, bombing hospitals, destroying bridges, espionage, ... and one of their most recent "protest acts" was to blow up a power plant that is currently keeping the lights on in your home letting you post here!
Here is a better one, you know NATO and Russia are close to clashing. So one of their next possible "opposition" acts in that hypothetical scenario would be to cooperate with Russians to bomb Germany more effectively, providing them with coordinates, infiltrating the military, leaking classified documents, carrying out swarm attacks against German force that defend against Russian invaders, and so on...

Now tell me what would you call this hypothetical "Freedom Movement of Germany"? "Opposition" or a "foreign-funded terrorist group"?

There are lots of opportunities that comes with the ability of Bitcoin to be resistant to censorship which can be used to provide the cleanest form of communication, alot of people here have talked about funding of causes that promotes free speech in a government that restricts it but it can also be used in countries where we feel free speech is absolute but the government always has eyes on any press releases, with Bitcoin peer to peer transactions without government scrutiny, media outlets, journalists and other associations can offer free opinions without  government interjection

But note with that free hand, comes ability to fund terrorism that can be detrimental to the people
