I find it far more ironic that they are called Reclaim the Internet.
I am dating myself, but I remember the Internet. It’s rather ironic too that the actual Internet, literal and figuratively free internet, was always doomed from the start, just like AI is effectively doomed in terms of it being some kind of productivity tool or amazing thing you can use to build your own thing, because the logical conclusion is very bad for most people, including the technorati types here that think themselves above it and immune.
If you’re shocked and surprised by the way there Internet was maneuvered into the surveillance prison Flock made itself the poster child of at the hands of Mr Langley, take that trajectory and lay it over AI, but only at exponential rates. You don’t have to believe me, it won’t matter either way, it’s happening, short of the Soviet style implosion of the “American” empire.
Maybe once the planet has been made uninhabitable to biological life there will be an AI robot cybernetic splinter group trying to “reclaim humanity”.
>Maybe not from the start, but definitely since the EU sunk its teeth into it. We can look forward to ID-controls for everything online, and monitoring of what we write.
Yes, they just made a big step in that direction by requiring age verification on social media for everyone :(
> Should anyone deviate from the EU leftist narrative they will be fined, disconnected, imprisoned or all three.
That is not happening though. But they are building the machinery to do things like this.
> requiring age verification on social media for everyone :(
This is not the end goal though.
The end goal is forcing this onto everyone. Show ID, show what
you visit, otherwise you will not be able to access the internet.
That is the real agenda. They just use salami steps, by trying
to convince people that this is about the kids. It was never about
the kids and never will be - kids are just the excuse, similar to
other laws claiming protection against terrorisms. These are all lies.

An article about internet censorship of an archive site that requires an archive site to read!
