    “hiding inside” of it? No no, the whole point is surveillance with full KYC. With the end goal being digital ID and CBDC and social credit scores. What the authorities consider to be correct behavior will earn points and if you so much as breathe a syllable of a question about why they’re making you do something you’ll lose points and you’ll be locked out of things that didn’t require an ID to get into before, possibly even access to a grocery store or any other place or service you could get food from

    Great article! Some writing cannot be accused of AI-generation… Because it’s good.

    Loyal Moses has been on about this. Apparently the bills require third party cloud storage of the information in addition to an online requirement (for logging in???), and continuous telemetry to in use apps on the desktop environment.

      Agree but this does need to be explained to people who aren’t in the know. These laws are currently being marketed as “put the power in parents hands” in various states left, right, and center.

      Its a good bet when there seems to be widespread bipartisan push for restrictive laws that literally no one asked for, it’s gonna be something bad. But you have to explain to mouthbreathers in the electorate why or this shit just gets rammed through.

        There’s no explaining it to the public at large in our forums. We already know. Unless people suddenly watch a couple trusted news sources en masse and those news sources choose to explain, ignorance will rule.

        But then that’s the entire point of fracturing information like this. Fake news. Don’t trust science. That’s woke, don’t listen. Etc.
