It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time. Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me. #Privacy

@madeindex@mastodon.social You have to wonder what kind of presentations happened when all the world's richest gathered on that one island recently. Why when Trump got elected ALL of the major big tech players suddenly lined up behind him when many had been outspoken against. I'm not seeing much irony here. The nobility has always abused the laity and ravaged the world in excess. Murder, rape even of children...all of it.

@madeindex Unfortunately, we have chosen the worst people among us as our leaders.

@madeindex Check out Stablecoin legislation signed by Trump. "All stablecoin issuers must possess the technical capability to seize, freeze, or burn payment stablecoins when legally required and must comply with lawful orders to do so." Source: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/07/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-signs-genius-act-into-law/ Stablecoin will be common, provided you have widespread verified identity online.

@madeindex For profit as well as control. The UK Home Secretary has even said the quiet bit out land, surveillance tech is selling governments a panopticon.

@madeindex I agree with that we're headed toward authoritarianism. The in-groups will make sure the out-groups' lives are made miserable, and I actually think they'll attempt to get rid of all the unproductives via social murder. Meanwhile, the authorities are clamping down on peaceful protest in the UK in the name of saving Jews. I wish people could understand better what is happening and where this will inevitably lead, i.e. fascism, authoritarianism and general brutality. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9pn2v7m2wo

@madeindex if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Their greatest fear is that a tween will be able to identify micro-penis on sight.

@madeindex Well, how else are they supposed to find more minors to exploit and rape?
