It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children
It鈥檚 also highly suspicious that so many of the world鈥檚 biggest countries
are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time.
Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me.
I agree with that we're headed toward authoritarianism.
The in-groups will make sure the out-groups' lives are made miserable, and I actually think they'll attempt to get rid of all the unproductives via social murder.
Meanwhile, the authorities are clamping down on peaceful protest in the UK in the name of saving Jews.
I wish people could understand better what is happening and where this will inevitably lead, i.e. fascism, authoritarianism and general brutality.
@madeindex Check out Stablecoin legislation signed by Trump.
"All stablecoin issuers must possess the technical capability to seize, freeze, or burn payment stablecoins when legally required and must comply with lawful orders to do so."

Stablecoin will be common, provided you have widespread verified identity online.
Unfortunately, we have chosen the worst people among us as our leaders.
@danish_akhtar7 True, it's not much of a choice though when presidential campaigns literally cost billions, nobody gives that kind of money to someone with integrity who won't make them a profit ;)
@madeindex it is. nothing else.
@tomtrottel 馃 It's messed up how the people always have to fight to wrest any rights from those in power, and then fight even harder to keep them!
@madeindex @tomtrottel It is - but it's also heartening (can we say that? The opposite of disheartening? I think we should) that despite this & even though the rich & powerful hate it as much as they ever did, We鈩笍 have been able to do so throughout history, on a consistent graph - local fluctuations notwithstanding - towards more human rights. It's almost like progress of humanity can't be stopped, only slowed down.
@jwcph
Love that take, I guess you are right, it's up and down but the general trend is towards more rights, just in a downward movement for a while now :))
@tomtrottel
even worse then they people now taking them away used to be the parties that fought to get them.
@Thebratdragon
