Time to run? What is happening to digital freedom in 2025

In July 2025, Indian authorities demanded the blocking of more than 2,000 Reuters accounts on platform X — including official news channels — citing violations of local laws. Overnight, thousands of users lost access to information, and media outlets lost access to their audience. It’s yet another alarming signal: in a centralized system, no one is safe from sudden shutdowns.
Centralization is a threat to freedom
Centralized platforms create the illusion of convenience: fast, simple, accessible. But beneath the surface lie mechanisms of control, censorship, and total dependence on the decisions of corporations or governments.
What’s really happening:
Your data is sold and used without your knowledge;
Access to content can vanish at any moment;
Your account can be disabled — without explanation or appeal.
Digital freedom ends before it even begins.
Why people switch to other solutions
📌 Censorship and bans. According to Access Now, internet shutdowns hit a record high in 2024–2025 — and the trend is only growing.
📌 Privacy threats. Data leaks, biometric tracking, and behavioral surveillance are pushing users to look for safer alternatives.
📌 Lack of control. Decisions about your content, access, or account are made by unknown people or opaque algorithms.
Decentralization as the answer
Choosing decentralization means choosing control. There is no single authority that can silence your voice or block your profile.
What decentralization offers:
Full control over your own data;
Access to services regardless of political circumstances;
Identity protection through personal encryption keys;
Transparent systems — no manipulation or hidden algorithms.
