It was never going to stop at just adult sites, and it won't stop with social media. I see s world where the ISP will be required to check your ID and "verify your age" because people were using vpn to circumvent these.

Then it's not a stretch to see the government requiring all good citizens to "check in" with the government every month like someone out on parole.

It would be exactly what they would love and like the frog that slowly boils, I believe they'll get it.

You'll just have to provide a continuous RDP stream from your telescreen. That shouldn't be a problem, citizen.
I agree. I think the only reason it hasn't happened yet is they didn't really have away to do anything with the data. But now with AI they can process it into reports pretty easily at scale. That is what all of these data centers going up is really about.
