It's mind blowing that we've allowed the development of a de-factor personal ID device absolutely controlled by an oligopoly of two private corporations.

Do people realize that this means either of these companies, since they can remotely turn off your account or device, can deplatform you from society including from many government services?

It's an astounding amount of power we have simply ceded to these two companies.

We didn't do it, our representatives did it for us, mostly unaware of what they were doing and still without a clue about what to do with whatever they've created. No they can't, and they won't, academia BS isn't helping anyone either.

I know you are not going to like it, but it started when they took our guns. Now they took our jobs. Next is unified minimal global personal tax (seems to be decided at 30%). On unrealised capital gains. And phones? That's a smoke screen for you to look other way. (And to watch you all the time too)
