Health Ranger unveils new decentralized Brighteon.io free speech platform with Bastyon architect Daniel Satchkov

Brighteon.io has officially gone live. And if you want to learn all about how this new decentralized, free speech-based social media platform works, along with how it was developed, you are in luck: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks all about it with partner and Bastyon founder Daniel Satchkov in a new interview. A construct of the Bastyon ecosystem, Brighteon.io is a peer-to-peer platform without servers, meaning there is no centralized means through which anyone can censor it. As Adams puts it, Brighteon.io is "uncensorable," which cannot be said about any other social media platform in existence. Adams came up with the idea for Brighteon.io back in 2012 while guest-hosting The Alex Jones Show. All the way back then, Adams could see that conventional social media was moving in the direction of full-scale censorship, and that it was only a matter of time until the internet became what it is now. "I said at that time that we need, for human freedom, a peer-to-peer decentralized platform for free speech, but the tech did not exist back then," Adams explains in the interview below – be sure to watch: (Related: By the way, all of the Health Ranger's most recent social media posts can be found at Brighteon.io.)

The free speech alternative to real censorship

Even people who have an understanding of internet censorship and the direction things are going fail to recognize what is really happening, and why platforms like Brighteon.io are so essential for keeping online speech free. "What we're up against is that once you start, you cannot really stop – you have to go all the way, and I think all the way means really disrupting communications on the internet and changing the internet, reversing the paradigm," Satchkov told Adams about the internet's slow slide into authoritarian censorship. "In order for them to survive and get to where they want to go, they have to reverse things and say, okay we're not going to ban things, we're going to allow things. So, the internet will only contain sites and viewpoints that are allowed." In other words, the Internet 2.0, of sorts, that exists today is becoming a closed system in which only select approved content is allowed as opposed to Internet 1.0 where content has to be hand-selected for censorship. This is what makes Brighteon.io so special. Much like cryptocurrencies and the blockchains on which they run, Brighteon.io and the Bastyon ecosystem it functions within have no centralized authority governing what gets posted. Users can share whatever they want without fear of censorship or other retribution. "Brighteon.io is non-corporate," Satchkov explained, emphasizing the importance of this facet of the platform. "From the beginning, I'd like to think that I try to think systemically about things as opposed to ad hoc and a knee-jerk reaction." "The knee-jerk reaction to censorship is always like, well let's create the freedom-oriented social media – it's like the 'libertarian' kind of first response – build your own Facebook. What people don't realize is that the whole corporate infrastructure is already putting you basically at the mercy of investors of the organization, the board of directors, and there are all sorts of other ways to censor a corporation." The non-corporate aspect of Brighteon.io and Bastyon also means there is no intellectual property associated with any of the data that travels in and through the platform. "This is a major defense against the human factor, because with a human there is always some way to make them cooperate (with censorship)," Satchkov explained about the revolutionary nature of Brighteon.io's architecture.
