*Crypto was supposed to solve financial corruption. But FTX shows it’s just got worse.*

I am not sure this is an inherent part of using cryptocurrencies. It may be due to a twisted way of using them: people buy and sell them through companies called "exchanges" rather than trading them directly. Those exchanges seem to tend particularly to corruption.

However, even if all users did everything directly in the currency's blockchain, it would seem to be just perfect for bribing politicians untraceably.

Crown Prince Bone Saw is trying to "sportswash" Salafi Arabia's cruel and repressive reputation.

Musk has banned Twitter users from posting information about where to find them on other sites.

Of course, you shouldn't be used by Facebook or Instagram at all, anyway.

Peru's suppression forces have killed 20 protesters, generally by shooting them. This caused protests to spread. People demand that Congress resign for new elections, but Congress refuses.
