Is this an US-only thing? There are several articles over the past few months hinting at US Big-Tech lobbying efforts in the EU. Thiel makes a living as a contractor of the surveillance apparatus. It is only in his interest to expand his business in the highly regulated EU, and I have not even started on his Dark Enlightment politics.
von der Leyen has no spine in this, if she isn't actively complicit.

learning that multiple people have tried to unmask the epsteins in the past 100ish years, but it was always dismissed as nothing more than a conspiracy theory each time showed me the immense amount of control that the espteins have on our collective consciousness and watching westerners (especially americans) just shrug and keep doing what the epsteins want them to do anyways has been eye opening to me.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Hopefully, we will have the means to strip out or spoof the SystemDOGE verification in Linux. Or even better, something akin to torrenting, where many false IDs are manufactured and shared, constantly replaced as needed by automated AI.
I truly don't trust the corporations and government that wants to connect our physical and digital selves together.

in reply to SabinStargem • • •Hopefully. At the mo, it's totally bypassable.
But what concerns me is, it could so easily slippery slope into being unavoidable. Most sites forced into requiring some PKI signed token. Token only obtained by giving your gov ID to Big Surveillance.
The requirements of modern life could end locked behind a mass surveillance gate.

It also equally applies to everyone else. What absolute ghouls and/or dimwits that are pushing for this.
