No, that would, in and of itself, be clearly unethical. I hope you can see why.
Basically, anything that occurs on the SAFE net is mere transmission of information. There are a great many people in the world that believe there are forms of information transmission that should be outlawed, and indeed many are. This is censorship, and this will, categorically, not be possible on SAFEnet, if it achieves its core design goal.
The purpose of this goal is to prevent governments, religions, corporations, and the like from controlling speech and thought in the information age, where so much of our speech, thought, memories, and history are externalized, digitized, and shared with one another.
This is the highest ethical purpose of humanity, in my opinion. We are in the final stages of a progression, as a species, to transcend our biologically-imposed limitations and someday become superintelligent immortals telepresent throughout the universe.
This vision of the future, shared by many, representing the greatest hope and potential of intelligent life, is directly at odds with many powerful interests that have contradictory goals. Such as:
- All of humanity converting to Islam, or Christianity, or fill in the blank
- People stop using recreational drugs, or gambling, or having casual sex
- People report all financial transactions to the government, pay tax on them, and that tax is fairly redistributed to the poor and needy
- Gatekeepers, Curators, Executives, and Experts decide what information is fit for the masses to receive
- People stop being critical of the Institution of Power and all live in harmonious agreement
These unattainable, irrational, short-sighted goals which these interestsā seek to achieve are terrifying to a free minded person. Yet many still seek to achieve them with vehement zeal, sacrificing greatly to further them. And censorship is a necessary tool for these interests so that their subjects can remain unaware of the alternative future that free thought, shared thought, and free speech can give them.
We are mere decades away from transcending to a form of life that remembers, in 8k resolution with perfect surround sound audio, with tactile, olfactory, and gustatory details, every second of its sensory perception. That can then share this recorded experience instantly with one person, or with all persons, private message or broadcast. Or share it 50 or 100 years after it happens. Thoughts in reflection upon the sensory experience can also be recorded and shared, instantly. And all of this will need to happen freely, with no counterpary risk or review, in a system that requires no permission. No gatekeepers, no permission slips, no censorship, no filter. Except those that people choose for themselves.
The only way to achieve this is with a decentralized information storage, retrieval, and transmission system with strong privacy protection, owned by no one, that cannot be turned off by anyone. Enter SAFEnet.
