Seems like this new organization is used as a soapbox for the founder. I.e. a way to satisfy his ego by disproving the economic/cultural status quo.
It’s foolish to tie up his technical project in with his idealistic crackpot social theories. one, he’s likely wrong, two, he’s alienating a ton of technical talent who think differently from him.
No. We have an inherent sense of fairness and at the scale the average person would not work for free. It’s the opposite, FOSS has infected our thinking, causing young people to work for free for idealistic reasons while corporations take their work and make billions. Linus Torvalds should be a billionaire right now, more than Bezos and Gates.
The right of freedom of speech is the ability to express any political opinion.
This was the historical and traditional understand of the right, and it’s why the founders protected that right under the constitution.
Using the 1st amendment to justify selling pornography is an outrageous and blatant manipulation of the words of the constitution. 1A was never historically understood to protect degeneracy. Pornography isn’t a political opinion (except in the most abstract and meaningless sense) and it should be universally banned. Full stop.
