**Affirmed position.** Blockchain Empowers Social Resistance and Terrorism Through Decentralized Autonomous Organizations should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts will become more prevalent as the Internet of Things grows, because the more devices are connected to each other, the more smart contracts will be used to execute and enforce legal transactions. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- growth of connected devices
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
