They will repurpose the same security chips that make digital payments and OS verification soon enough. Then you cannot bypass digital ID because it is on the hardware level.

Seems they are starting with software compliance to see who will voluntarily do their dirty work for them. Assume that M$ and App£€ will comply while making it difficult for smaller independent developers to comply thus removing any privacy options.

Same with Win11, force people to upgrade working tech because it lack hardware security chip support. Call it “anti-piracy” or “security updates” and force people to comply.

Well now you have to provide ID to use any of those.

This is just another form of control and a potential verified data stream for governments/corporations/marketers.

How can you prove that internet traffic is a human and not a bot? ID verification.

How can you generate more user data? Force them to provide ID for every device that is connected.

Want to control piracy? Easy with OS level ID requirements.

Why does a fridge need to connect to the Internet? Or a toaster? Why does my toothbrush need Bluetooth?

Yeah, tell me how that fixes someone like John Fetterman? What do you do when someone turns out to be a horrible asshole? They get to continue to fuck you over for the rest of their term? Or what about someone like Joe Manchin or Krysten Sinema? What are you doing in entire state keeps voting the same asshole in to office?

There is no internal reform. Once they’re elected and there’s not much you can do until the next reelection. If you can’t affect senior leadership due to seniority it takes fucking forever for any meaningful change to come. The system is designed to move slowly And resist change.

Stop selling stuff you haven’t made yet to people who have no money and haven’t paid. Wtf is wrong with businesses these days?
