[liberationtech] They Used Smartphone Cameras to Record Police Brutality—and Change History

[fuzzyTew]

What about the idea stimulates the thought of artificial limits?  I see it
as growing and shaping the options to include everyone's views, rather than
artificially limiting anything at all.

Like if group A likes privacy, group B likes control of their people, and
group C likes complete transparency of communications, you might make a
blockchain app where the ISP can toggle some reviewable privacy feature for
their subnetwork to be set by user consensus, denied subnetwork-wide, or
forced on subnetwork-wide.

You'd open the project to any concerns and mediate them all to be fully
included, such that anyone who can communicate with the design process can
massage the product to meet their preferences, no matter who they are.

I'm used to thinking of crowdsourcing funds and developers from potential
users, as opposed to seeking investors. I guess businesses are used to
starting with money, though.
