El Salvador’s government has the power to tap phones and read private messages without a warrant, while branding itself as the ultimate Bitcoin freedom project.
The reality is that self-censorship has become normal for anyone who dares question the government.
Chivo collected biometric data from millions of Salvadorans, creating a national honeypot. More than 80% of the population’s private information was later reportedly leaked onto the dark web, including facial images, addresses and dates of birth. Chivo denies that the leak came from its systems.
Top-down narratives sold as sovereign and decentralised can erode the very principles they claim to champion.
When a government wraps mass surveillance in the Bitcoin flag, it becomes more dangerous by borrowing the language of freedom to disguise control.
Joe’s latest video asks the questions much of the space refuses to confront.
Awesome work @Joe Nakamoto.
