We did it!! Oh my God, we did it!!! As I write this, citizens across Russia are using ZKPs to vote in a surveillance-free referendum and safely challenge the Kremlin Some reflections on privacy as freedom, incognito voting, and trustless social apps

The @Rarimo_protocol community built Freedom Tool because digital voting urgently needed privacy Until Freedom Tool, and passport ZKPs there was no way of verifying voter eligibility that also prevented tracing. For people living in regimes, this was a disaster

Drawbacks to X making likes private - w/out knowing where likes on a post come from (bots?) trust plummets - w/out knowing what a person likes, connecting w them is 5x harder For privacy in social settings to work, there needs to be elements of verifiability & customization
