The Woes of Capture, Part 2: and your first-born child.

Your smartphone has become a battleground for surveillance, where apps bully you into granting access while mocking you with control panels that only distract from the real question: why are we inviting such bad actors into our digital lives in the first place?

The Woes of Capture, Part 0

This article examines how the internet's promise of universal visibility became trapped inside centralized platforms, which solved early internet problems but created a new kind of dependency. Through network effects, these platforms became the internet itself for most users, making exit practically impossible. It's the introductory piece to a series exploring the consequences of collective platform capture.

Operation Kidstr 03: Introducing TEPP - Trust Extended Permissions Protocol

This article introduces TEPP (Trust Extended Permissions Protocol), a proposed system for Nostr designed to create secure, "permissioned environments" within an open, permissionless network. While the system is general enough for use cases like managing bots, the primary focus is child safety. TEPP allows "guardians" (parents) to construct explicit whitelists of people, relays, and events that a "subject" (child) can view or interact with. The system solves the problem of scaling moderation through Trust Extensions, which allow guardians to automatically extend permissions to the social circles of already-trusted entities (e.g., allowing a child to interact with "friends of friends" or trusted school networks).
