Centralised systems were designed with the best of intentions, but were turned against us anyway. And peer-to-peer systems will be exactly the same.

How do we make the next generation of protocols more difficult to weaponise?

This is the lens which we'll use to look at Willow, a family of publicly-funded, open source peer-to-peer protocols. How can we learn from the ways both centralised and peer-to-peer systems have been abused in the past, and apply that to new designs? We'll take a look at some of the (surprising) paths Willow has taken to make it harder to turn against us.
