One observation about privacy communities in web3. They are one of those:
- paranoid
- anon
- token/currency centric
This excludes the general public that needs privacy education.
Challenge: to create a big & inclusive community for everyone around privacy.

Privacy could become an umbrella protecting humans from injustice on molecular & gov levels.

Our mission is to create a highly-practical series of events for both builders & the general public that needs privacy protection.
It will be backed by research + new tooling.

Social media are cyberweapons.
While studying Ukrainian Youtube trends are found out lots of pro-Russian narratives. Their marketers alter recommendation algorithm - de-politisize & polarise Ukrainian nation.
There's no "free will" in relations to algorithm.
We love to support youth & students.
They will build open-source tech of the future.

Women's representation in Web3 privacy is a joke.
