Greetings Elspeth,

Thanks for sharing your views

I would say sovereignty happens through conscious choice. If you're making choices consciously, then they are sovereign.

I very much agree with the alternative views on google, youtube and facebook - they are indeed censoring - we experience it with Openhand. But, a huge majority of people connect through these platforms, those that we're working to connect with. However, our aim is always to bring people to this platform and to exchange here. That's our conscious choice at this time. Although we do keenly watch for other possibilities too.

Anyone can quite simply avoid the comment captcha mechanism by registering an account on Openhandweb - then you can post freely.
