    that’s the whole point. they want people to be deanonymised. It’s good for business if the big tech companies can identify you, without a doubt of who you are. This is their entire purpose.

      Don’t forget chilling free speech and the sister program to put back doors in, or otherwise destroy, private communication, polly faves.

    I’m actually surprised that I’ve encountered this (when ending up on a UK exit viewing porn).

    It’s super annoying to have to spend 15 seconds changing the exit on my VPN app and refreshing to make the age verification modal go away

    We are well on our way towards a dystopia and by allowing people that are currently our “representatives” in every country in the government we have snowballed that descent, these greedy corrupt politicians will never stop.

      people that are currently our “representatives” in every country

      TBH I think like 99% of those reps just have no clue how tech works. Or what the impacts woulkd be of the laws they want to pass.

      Of those 99%, many are actively hostile to privacy. But some are not hostile, just clueless. Which amounts to the same result in the end. Except maybe we have a chance to sway them.

    Im sorry but this blogpost is regurgitated by AI. They could at least make the effort of writing themselves.

      What makes it seem that way? Doesn’t read like AI to me, not a lot of vague fluff, consists of salient points and claims backed by links to relevant sources.

        The long dashes, the “Its not X; Its Y” type of ending, it is definitely rewritten by AI from a human text.
