I suspect the “threatens economic stability” is stuff like printers that can produce dollars and the type of paper/thread/plastic material that makes up modern currency. I think people are looking for a conspiracy here when it’s just a logical choice. Some things people shouldn’t have a playbook on how to create.

secrecy orders have been imposed not only on inventions affecting military defense but also on those alleged to threaten economic stability, with critics noting that many such restrictions rest on speculative or unproven harms.

The US government fought encryption beyond the millenium. Pretty much still is as it gains backdoors everywhere.

In which case some rich cunt will patent it and nuke the internet of its details

No.

Worst kind of poster, sees a ratioed a comment jumps in for an easy jab. If I’m wrong so be it but you added less than anyone to this thread. You could have corrected me but nothing was easier.

It’s your burden to show when things like that happened. You just said a vague sentence while acting like you’re adding to the conversation.
You weren’t.

Good luck scrubbing anything off the internet with even a little social momentum. If people think its good enough to share, then it’s never fully getting scrubbed.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Do you think there would be significant momentum behind someone posting what amounts to detailed patenting information?
Presumably someone without a following that absolutely no one that runs any of the social momentum sites would want someone else to have?

That is not how the internet works

Sure its not, I am delghted for you that you can still see the fappening nudes but if you think for a second that US hosting companies will be allowed to host content that has been flagged under this procedure you ae dreaming.
Its not conspiritorial to recognise things can be made very difficuly to find on the public facing web.

Thats like saying you can’t sell drugs inside the police commissioners office. Yeah, everyone understands that, doofus. Nobody that wants to release information that a nation state level actor wants suppressed is going to do it within their borders.

Tough to get a valid patent when the prior works were published publicly before you ever applied for it…

They’ll suppress it unless they can make money off it like crypto or “AI”.
survirtual@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Bitcoin was publicly released with full code and no pre-mining. It could not be patented for this reason.
The original creator is still unknown and has never moved their coins.
This strategy is the way.

Yo.
Thanks for curing me of my ignorance, i had no idea. I’m going to have to read more about this! I always thought crypto was cool in theory, unfortunate the state of its practice.

I’m kind of on the same page as you, as a concept it’s really cool but all the hype and techbros around it are a huge turn off.
