Aren't we already too late for that?
my thoughts as well, I was reminded of https://media.ccc.de/v/22C3-920-en-we_lost_the_war

It will be argued that this isn't surveillance because people are willing to scan their faces and give explicit consent. The fundamental problem is the requirement to prove your identity at all. It leads to a slippery slope where this requirement gets imposed on travelling short distances via car or foot because now the tech is so easy/cheap.
yup decades of step by step nudging societies led towards majority accepting this (or rather unaware, too occupied to "care", tempted with digital dopamine, convenience, etc)
it's been slippery for a while and the slope seems to be accelerating downwards.
good post thx
As if it hasn’t been in use for a decade already? More msm bullshit.

the future will not be universally free nor universally oppressed. there will be islands of freedom that have adopted the incentive structures of a bitcoin standard. we must ensure places like el salvador succeed and become a beacon that shows the better way
Well this is bullshit.
