"The IJOP is a system of systems. It gathers information from, but not limited to, gas stations, checkpoints on the street, and access-controlled areas such as communities and schools. It pulls information from these facilities, as well as CCTV cameras, integrates them, and monitors them for “unusual” activity or behavior that triggers alerts that authorities then investigate.
IJOP receives information about gas usage, electricity usage, and package delivery.
The app even includes information about whether someone is using the front door or back door of their home.
For example, we knew that there are the checkpoints, but now we know that some checkpoints are equipped with “data doors,” which covertly collect information from people, such as IMEI numbers, which are unique identifiers assigned to devices, and log this data for identification and tracking purposes."

Unfortunately Bitcoin requires internet. Machankura also needs internet on their systems to interact with Bitcoin.
Nostr could help reduce Bitcoin's reliance on TCP-IP though - and your reliance also...
* Your server can lose access to it's domain or it's IP address, but your npub can't be censored.
* You can self host a nostr relay behind a static IP (paid in Bitcoin) from a VPN provider.
* You can use TollGates to reduce your reliance on ISPs: https://github.com/chGoodchild/GLTollGate
How do those TollGates reduce reliance on ISPs?
I've never heard about it before.
Is there any "Machankura" alternative that works in EU? In case Internet shuts down.

The ultimate proof-of-inflation - banknote street-art
"Several artists have set up stalls in the historic area of downtown Bogotá selling a variety of crafts and artwork using the older Venezuelan bolívars (also known as bolívar fuerte). These notes have recently gone out of circulation as the government replaced them with bolívar soberano in an effort to tackle hyperinflation."

Famous "pegasus" is a malware reserved only for governments.

🖕 TikTok / DouYin
"In recent years, Tibetans, especially singers, small traders doing businesses online, debates among people online, meetings, educating through online, and all kinds of live broadcasts on Douying have to speak Chinese, even if they don't want to, they start by apologising to Tibetans while they are speaking Chinese, and if they don't speak Chinese, they can't continue the live broadcast. It is very difficult to openly criticise the Douying Company and the Chinese government, as they risk detention, arrest and imprisonment simply for criticising them."

hikikomori - a socially avoidant behaviour (for more than 6 months) such as refusal to go outside of the home, to work, or to attend school, as well as withdrawing from social communication. Formally recognized and defined in Japan in the 1990s. It has been documented in many other countries with broad cultural differences.
"Some psychologists note the importance of considering whether hikikomori is a new condition that stems from current broad sociocultural conditions. Much of this thinking focuses on the impact of social media and the Internet."
