There's already quite a lot of data on the subject. Here's a 30 year meta-study from 2005 for example.

The problem described in the article is that people are preventing/defunding further studies.
That's a false dichotomy and really the core of my complaint. Instead of dogma, we should be striving towards facts based on empirical evidence. Science.
If you've ever tried to convince someone to disregard a deeply held religious belief, you know how much of an uphill battle it can be. And it can be downright impossible for the more zealous, especially if they believe they're constantly battling some sort of "other" (mostly theoretical Nazis).
It doesn't look like things will be getting better any time soon. In fact, with the increase of deplatforming and ideology-driven power mods on social media sites like Reddit, it seems like we're moving into a sort of digital dark age.

Try watching this video on Youtube without giving Google your passport or credit card info. I found it impossible, even with youtube-dl.

I'd wager that most people believe this. Not just feminists.
You're really overestimating the Pinephone's hardware. Firefox takes about 10 seconds to open.
Yes. It is orders of magnitude more usable than Windows 10 at least, which is awful. I haven't used OSX in a few years, but there were always some annoyances about maximizing windows, having to jump through hoops to install programs from the internet, or having to restart after updates.
I would very much like to see a user study of new computer users trying out Ubuntu, Windows 10, and Mac OS for the first time.
Most universities also have some sort of high performance computing cluster available, so you're not limited to just a simple VM.
There was a big debate in 2019 of communism vs capitalism among two famous professors. When one of them mentioned the communist revolution being a call for "bloody violent revolution" the audience cheered with approval. It was chilling.
It's the only way you can buy a 4chan pass for example
>The problem with this is that we'd lose lots of the tools we have to fight organized crime
Well right now we have bitcoin where there is high anonymity and the government has no power over. In a government payment system they would have the power to freeze accounts and track transactions. I don't see how that's a worse system in regards to fighting crime.
>I was trying to focus on your claims about 1A
You completely misunderstood my original claim and went on a tangent bringing up common talking points. As if it were a knee-jerk reaction to seeing the words "corporate censorship" and "first amendment" in the same paragraph. I'm still not sure that you understand.
But if a customer wants to do business online with someone Visa doesn't approve of, they have very few options. And currently Bitcoin is the best option.
And if the government does not want Bitcoin to prosper, they should come out with a better alternative in the form of a public (government run) payment system so we have the digital equivalent of the dollar.
Because unlike private entities, the government is bound to the first amendment. Unlike Visa, the government does not have the right to pick and chose who they do business with.
