Its obviously of a different magnitude, but it's interesting (scary) to see the parallel that once a state wants to do something, regardless of the morality, companies line up with proposals on how to do it, without any thought for if they should be helping repress people or violate their rights. I hope when we wake up from our collective delusion the companies that are enabling this will be held accountable, I also know there is no chance of that
