   Lunduke discovers RiseUp. I don't think RiseUp is bad. It serves a function for activists of various kinds - not just Anti-fascism. Probably many folks reading this have a RiseUp account.
   
   My main criticism of RiseUp would be that it's centralized - one server full of activist related content which can be conveniently monitored or implanted. I'd prefer a more distributed approach.

      I like Lunduke most of the time, but this is lazy scaremongering journalism. Do more research on RiseUp. Try to get someone associated with it, or at least who has an account to come on the show and explain what it's about.
      
      So Mozilla funds something political. You think Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc, don't? Google spends more money lobbying the US government than any other industry.

         @bob Non-profits under 501(c)(3) risk their ability to keep that status in the USA when they do that, though.  Mozilla is one, MSFT isn’t.
