>The only way to really fix it is to break up the wealth and power of individuals and corporations based on their total effective power

That simply transfers the power to the one doing the breakup, which in most cases, are the Governments, which are notoriously known to invade user's privacy under the guise of protection of children or whatever.

>For identity verification, Stripe is our current data processor and undergoes annual audits. Your identity is first verified by Stripe, secondly reprocessed for privacy on Changefly, then immediately deleted.

This important information is not in your FAQ or your white paper. Not even a mention of identity verfication. Transparency is crucial, if you want trust.

Nevertheless, Am I not parting more of my data by giving Govt id to another third party(stripe) rather than just my email?

The block if any should be at the user level per user and not at the admin level. No matter what gab user's beliefs are, it's wrong to dehumanize them. If anything, you're doing the same thing you're accusing them of doing: Dehumanizing humans with different (race)beliefs to commit (genocide) segregation.

Design choice should be "no need to trust". If not, nefarious motivations should be assumed, unless proven otherwise.

Sure, if Amazon decide to open source their app. But we all know that won't happen. Whatever tracking they do will be entirely lost. The data is worth more than the revenue itself.

I'm familiar with DNS and read the FAQ. But, "Practically", it's used for external services(ssh, http) to get to your device. Right? Are there practical use differences?

New to this. "Practically", it seems the same as ngrok or tor onion services. Is that right?
