Companies know the ad market is dying and never worked well in the first place. Maybe they hope having all your data will make it better. But they know there's always a buyer of last resort willing to pay a premium for your personal information: the government.
Who needs a warrant?
Everyone wants to build panopticon.
They're just claiming it's to "protect children" or for "antiterrorism" efforts or immigration screening or whatever bullshit they think you're most likely to swallow.
"AI" is about automating surveillance and if you think "AI" makes mistakes now, wait until it's what the government relies on when heavily armed masked men raid your home in the middle of the night.
And no, Democrats cannot be trusted on this either because they're pushing for the same thing.
To exist online in 10 years, you're going to have to give a random company a face scan and photo ID and they're going to give that and everything you post to the government to spy on you for being queer, left-wing, "a criminal," or whatever. None of your data or communications will be private. The government and corporations will go through all of it.
If you don't want that to happen, you should raise a stink about "age verification" right now because that's what they're actually building.
Refusing to go down without a fight, George storms a TV station, kills the Fascinator on the news, and uses its image to command everyone to "wake up," see the aliens for what they are, and kill them.
Humanity triumphs in the end but poor old George dies at exactly eight o'clock.
The John Carpenter version is snazzier. It's got a guerilla resistance and magic shades and pokes fun at the sociopathic consumerism of the Reagan Eighties.
But it's the "waking up" part that's important.
The Fascinators hypnotize people into thinking they are normal human beings and they control everything from the media to the government. Their subliminal orders are everywhere. "MARRY AND REPRODUCE," "WORK AND OBEY," and most especially, "CONSUME."
George tries to convince people of what is happening, which doesn't work, and he eventually receives a phone call from one of the Fascinators, who instructs him to die at exactly eight o'clock the next morning.
There is a short story called "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson. You have probably never heard of it, but it was turned into a John Carpenter movie called "They Live."
In the story, a man named George Nada is hypnotized by a stage magician, but when he is told to "wake up," he wakes up completely and realizes he can see aliens living among us, whom he calls Fascinators because of their hypnotic powers.
@Kalshann Antagonizing NATO is the only point over which the Blob disagrees, especially since the US already has virtually unrestricted access and control over Greenland.
@Kalshann Ronald Lauder is the big one pushing it as far as I can tell and has been since the previous administration, although of course, oligarchs and "national security" weirdos in the Blob are all for it, too.
The whole Greenland thing is because one of Trump's rich friends continually pushes the idea for the sake of his own business interests. Trump, being the dope that he is, plus dementia and concerns about his legacy, is easily manipulated.
