This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

    Things will just get worse if we don’t do something concrete, like organizing protest marches and petitions, going on strike, and similar.

    Quoting from an episode of Slow Horses: “heavy on hashtags, light on results”.

      Sad thing is, is that the majority of people are too lazy, cowardly, propagandized & weak-willed. We need to be like the citizens like Hong Kong & Sri Lanka from riots against their governments (& Nepal as of recently when their government tried Identity Verification).

      We need to be putting the blame towards the World Economic Forum for introducing this bullshit & our corrupt governments for kowtowing to them.

        It’s more complicated than that. A lot of people simply don’t have the time and energy after work for this.

        A mass movement like this is going to need a support network, much like some of the successful ones in the past.

          Because it’s all by design. They need to find a way to make time, especially when it comes to their rights. Everyone who fought in the civil rights war for our rights had. And that’s just one example.

        It’s even sadder when you consider that SOPA caused a mass blackout protest which ultimately got it hidden away until its chance to reappear and this time maybe actually become law.

        No one’s doing any sort of mass blackout protests this time around.

          No one has any savings left in case our jobs terminate us after receiving a threatening letter signed by Kash Patel over continuing to employ us after a Flock camera identified us at the protest that the news is reporting was filled with pedophiles mad about protecting children.
