- "It's to protect kids!"
I'm really tired of this. It's so clearly not to protect kids.
This!. This!!. This!!!. A thousand times this.
Digital ID for social media does not make anyone safer. It creates a searchable, linkable record of everything you say, connected to your real identity. It is meant to discourage people from speaking freely.
When governments restrict VPNs, they are deciding which parts of the internet you can access, even though you pay for that access.
You do not need privacy because you have something to hide. You need it because those in power are always tempted to misuse what they can observe.
Once surveillance systems are in place, the real question is not if they will be misused, but when and by whom.
We've now reached the threshold where even discerning people cannot tell the difference between reality and Ai without watermarks. Not every video shows clues.
question; are screens luxury?
do bentleys have all screens? personally i want to see some fancy dials. if screens were peak then why isnt the apple watch the fanciest watch? why put so much value on the craftsmanship of watches but another stupid screen in my car?
