Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation, is warning Americans about the narrative coming from media outlets reporting on crypto and other privacy tools.
In an article for Time Magazine published today, Gladstein said that many news outlets covering stories about privacy-focused messaging app Signal or Bitcoin (BTC) tended to associate them with terrorists or criminal organizations. The Human Rights Foundation exec pushed back on narratives which paint privacy and self-sovereignty in a negative light, saying the next fight would be moving into money — in this case, cryptocurrencies.
