Well the UK also outlawed protests, while selling weapons to Israel for use in genocide. So let’s not pretend they are the good guys. Labor is slightly less bad than the tories, but that’s not the same thing as being good.
The UK is a vasal state of Israel like the US. Andrew and the diplomat were only in trouble for giving out state secrets. Pretending they are where it stops is as silly as pretending Jimmy Saville was one of a kind
The reason the platforms want ID is to differentiate the humans from the bots. Then they can show real humans the ads and make more money.
The real reasons platforms want ID is so the government can harass whoever is talking shit and organizing against them. The secondary reason isn’t to distinguish them from bots to show them ads, it’s to coincide with confidence the multiple likely existing profiles of people across multiple platforms, help evade privacy measures like adblocksrs and VPNs.
Never be critical again and be a good consumer. We will control all that you see and hear.
The fact that the government wants those things is a secondary profit opportunity.
Selling ads to real people to fake their earnings is what they really want.
Fascism is corporatism.
Train bots to click through.

there’s no reason for the snarky attitude
This is purely interpretational and not what I intended.
I replied to the wrong person.
Then we are friends.
You believe that? I have an exciting investment opportunity for you because you are so naive.
I mean, it’s definitely part of the reason. That kind of data is valuable to more than just governments and intelligence agencies.

ha ha, pathetic.
Don’t delete your comments big boy, say it with your chest.
So one has not the right to change his mind?
It’s not all about you.
First, there’s no reason for the snarky attitude.
Second, knowing for sure that a given user is human would definitely make their traffic more valuable.
You brought nothing to this,
All these laws started to pass when AI really hit its prime
Sure, but the canceling of jury trials, and the right to protest, and politicians declaring protest groups terrorists and bad faith, are all more worrisome, and this is the fucking short list.
Same for Brazil’s Felca Law (Law made to “protect children online”): They put Brawl Stars as an Ages 18+ game for having a chat, but Lucky Tiger clones are still “Free For All Ages”.
Hell even just watching movies would expose you to that. The actors are NOT a realistic role model.
I starved myself to a gambling addiction 😕
it’s time to abandon the internet
I think you are correct. We should make our own internet, full opsec
Well fediverse and ActivityPub protocol do basically already that in a sense. We just need more users to migrate from the old Internet to these services build on top of the tech which cannot be controlled by the mega corporations. Old Internet is basically three companies in a trench coat.
Sounds incredibly naïve. When you host your fediverse instance, you can be made liable to do all that bullshit by the state. The location of your server can be tracked if you don’t comply.
There is i2p but it would be really better for everyone if we just remove the laws that destroy privacy instead of crafting workarounds.
What we need to do is start running fiber optic cable door to door between Neighbors. There’s a literally nothing they could do about that except for sending people to go physically cut cables
The funny thing is… I can see about 6 WiFi networks from my neighbors, despite being in the basement right now. What do you need those cables for again?
We’d need a routing protocol that can use way more hops. IPv4 only supports up to 255 hops, so if I ballpark the average distance between houses at 100 feet, I’d only be able to access stuff hosted within 5 miles or so of me. There are some other functional considerations, but I’m sure you could drive entirely across most cities and see WiFi coverage the whole way.
This is…. An interesting idea.
You once not only higher throughput but also making it more difficult to detect. You would likely use a combination of wired and Wireless
