Another 9-figure food company is trying to shut down our lab testing startup. LMNT is suing Oasis federally for sharing independent lead results in their supplement. Defending a federal lawsuit can cost millions of dollars. Given we are a bootstrapped independent startup this makes defending ourself economically challenging. We have taken no outside money and continue to pay large fees to independently test more products. We’ve published corrections to all their claims, yet they refuse to settle. Big food brands are trying to make consumer transparency too expensive to defend. We built Oasis to stand up for the billions of consumers aspiring to live their healthiest and know the truth.

Digitization and AI have erased the costs that once protected our privacy. A new generation of cryptography is bringing them back. Peer-to-Peer's first guest post. From @GoBankYourself p2p.coincenter.org/p/enginee…

Grateful to @coincenter for publishing this and allowing me to be their first guest-post! Practical obscurity protected people because compiling a life from scattered records was expensive. Digitization and AI inverted that cost structure. Engineered obscurity restores it by permitting verification without compilation.

In our first guest post, @GoBankYourself explains the death "practical obscurity." It used to be more effort than it was worth to piece together a picture of someone's life. Now with AI, its trivially easy. Flock, financial history, browsing data, everything. It's all going to be connected. p2p.coincenter.org/p/enginee…

LAWSUIT: Eight officers raided his home before dawn. His offense? He filmed an officer speeding, criticized him when he got to a drive-thru, and embarrassed the department. In a free country, criticizing police shouldn’t end in handcuffs. In 2022, Joshua Gibbons filmed a Kingsport, Tennessee police SUV speeding without lights or sirens, violating state law. He caught up with the officer at a drive-thru and had salty words about his disregard for the law. That exchange lasted all of one minute. The consequences for Joshua lasted four years. After someone complained about a different video — an officer flipping Gibbons off — police scoured Gibbons’ YouTube channel for ammunition. Before dawn the next morning, while Gibbons was still in bed, eight armed officers raided his mother’s home to arrest him — for speeding using a cellphone while driving, and disorderly conduct. A judge dismissed the speeding and cellphone charges but convicted him of disorderly conduct, saying he was “offended by the way” Gibbons was “talking to that officer.” Gibbons appealed. At a second trial, a jury again found him guilty. In June, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously reversed that conviction and dismissed the charge. The court found “no evidence” that Gibbons’ criticism prevented anyone from doing anything lawful. The court recognized — as many courts had held — that even “profane and insulting” words alone aren’t a crime, especially when directed at police officers, who are trained to exercise restraint. With FIRE’s help, Gibbons is suing to vindicate his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment protects your right to film and criticize police. Kingsport PD needs to hear that message loud and clear.

This is what “permissionless” actually means. Thank you, @RoyaMahboob.

A man commented “F you and your Flock cameras" on a South Carolina police department's FB post. And then the police department—reportedly the Police Chief himself—messaged him, threatening to have "U.S. Marshals" arrest him for “unlawful communications.” wrdw.com/2026/09/23/ridge-sp…

@LewellenMichael submitted a reply brief on Monday against the DOJ, arguing that the district court prematurely dismissed his challenge to the DOJ’s interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960 and that the DOJ’s interpretation of § 1960 exposes him to a credible threat of prosecution if he publishes and operates a non-custodial cryptocurrency software. @coincenter’s blog discusses his arguments and the road ahead: coincenter.org/a-thin-doj-po…

In new brief, Lewellen argues that DOJ enforcement discretion cannot replace clear legal protection for non-custodial developers coincenter.org/a-thin-doj-po…
