    The basis is its how the world communicates and they become the gate keepers to communication and knowledge. Its like book banning on topics they don’t like but on a scale much more massive.

    They’re already banning internet content from people that shouldn’t be about sexual health because its not about protecting kids its about controlling them and people.

    You gotta be a good sheep and they’re going to do their best to make you one.

      Not saying that these are not possibilities, but the technology itself and mistrust of government are, at least partly, different things. This is definitely a complex topic, spanning a lot of topics.

        I don’t personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population (edit: and especially that are being heavily driven by governments)

        It’s pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.

        Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.
