## Quote — verbatim

> Now you have all kinds of censorship happening at the RPC level... RPC servers have to obey the law of the land wherever the servers are hosted... giving ecosystems' users \[the ability\] to host their own RPC servers, of course in compliance with whatever country they're operating from, is a great use case for Akash.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On the MetaMask-is-censoring-you narrative — he argues MetaMask is just a client and the fix is users scheduling their own RPC servers in a country of their choice via Akash.
