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.
But also
The law applies broadly to all inventions in the United States for which a patent is filed or granted (35 U.S.C. § 181).
So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it
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.
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.
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.

This is the plot of The Saint and now I have to watch it again.
Yes that was a really good deed by Dieter Von Cunth.
They’ll suppress it unless they can make money off it like crypto or “AI”.
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.

In which case some rich cunt will patent it and nuke the internet of its details
Tough to get a valid patent when the prior works were published publicly before you ever applied for it…

That is not how the internet works
No.
