This part of the same article about the Moral High Ground is also relevant for our communication with CETF and similar to the ideas below about the Moral Stack.
A key component of our successful response to misguided regulations is to clearly communicate the benefits of CETF. If/when needed, we should clearly communicate that misguided regulations against CETF would be counter-productive for everyone in the world. We should make it clear that supporting CETF is the morally right thing to do to create abundance, independence, and joy and make the best experiences possible for everyone in the world.

Transparency is the foundation necessary to secure the moral high ground. Absent transparency, governments use their control over information to obscure reality and slander whoever is necessary in order to justify their actions. It is only through secrecy and lies that governments can maintain the illusion of the moral high ground. Adopting a plan of radical transparency is as scary as committing to a non-violent revolution against tyranny. People who have done nothing wrong will get hurt and some may die. As Gandhi said, nonviolence requires a certain faith in the goodness of man, but so does faith in government or anarchy. Those who have no faith in man are insane to imbue government run by men with moral authority over the use of violence.
Those who get hurt will be the martyrs who expose government brutality and rally the masses behind the innocent while undermining the perceived authority of violent governments. When the community comes to the aid of those who are hurt, then, and only then, will governments lose their power. This is only possible with transparency.
“As a society we seem to have double standards when it comes to privacy. We would like to know everything about everyone else while simultaneously ensuring nobody knows anything about us. We want the right to demand others forget us, but we want to remember everything we can about everyone else.”
