Blurt is halal

Well I think that there will likely be many uses of the platform that end up very clearly "haram".

Just like on any street in the world any day someone might do something that violates Islamic rules. In that sense, I would say that blurt is more akin to a street or a public place. We cannot control what our users choose to do with that's actually a very important guiding design goal for us.

We don't want to stop anyone from doing anything with blurt at any time or saying anything on the blurt platform whether or not that complies with Islamic law.

I haven't yet spoken to the scholar who did the certification but I believe that the certification was based on the economic system.

I guess basically blurt has been decreed to be free of usury, and I am deeply pleased by that.

You are right. But blurt should monitorize so that no one can heart others. If users are too free, it will make voilence. It is not only for islamic rules but also other consequence.

I don't think it's possible to have an open economy on blurt and an open set of technologies and at the same time monitor content.

with that said, I do think that we can make the economy compliant with Islamic standards and I like that idea a lot.

blurt the blockchain should imho be 100% agnostic (i.e. indifferent, neutral, blind as is lady justice) towards politics, religion, sects, economic systems, wealth, opinions etc. no censorship, no censors. HOWEVER: expressing opinions - yes! heated discussing - yes! expressing agreement - yes! expressing dis-agreement-yes! etc

That's correct. Blurt would lose all purpose and value if it were to adopt censorship.
