Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, now known as X, has reportedly inadvertently funded a developer with ties to a Brazilian fascist through his $10 million donation to the decentralized social-media protocol Nostr.
It’s interesting to see how they attribute this. The benzinga article says fiatjaf is a fascist because he follows a fascist.
The business insider article seems to imply Olavo de Carvalho is a fascist because he’s a RW conspiracy theorist. They link to NY Times and I also checked Wikipedia and I saw no claims that he is a fascist so I have to assume this is the tenuous link (and also basically makes Alex Jones a fascist).
By transitive property I guess the next article on Jack Dorsey will label him a fascist for his donation to fiatjaf.
