One #problem with #realnameregistration is that it can be used as an #ID for governmental services as well
That is what you could call a #thecirclescenario
Another problem is the #superapp
In #China it became nearly impossible to exist without the #微信 #app , known as #WeChat internationally
If you analyse what #AnnaZeiter said in interviews there are possibilities they want #WSocial to become a #superapp
I'll write it in more detail, in the future, I promise…
Quoting
Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.
You simply don’t need to.
You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.
Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.
The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.
And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)
