But we currently have the option to bypass those restrictions if we want. Isn't it concerning that these systems might become more or less "mandatory" at some point?
- jqpabc123 4y agoAnything imaginable *might* become "mandatory" at some point. As of right now, no one is proposing to change anything at the consumer level. The only impact will be faster, easier transactions.
- snapcaster 4y agoSo you put this becoming more or less mandatory in the future at roughly the same odds that wearing pink unitards will become mandatory? Any system like this that provides the capacity for heavy centralized control and censorship will at the very least have people attempting to leverage it to their own ends right? Not saying they will succeed but I think it rises above the level of "any random shit might become mandatory" right?
- jqpabc123 4y agoI put the odds in the same category as the military overthrowing the civilian government. It has happened around the world, so we know the threat is very real --- people have leveraged the military to their own ends, right? So by your same logic, we need to oppose, resist and abolish the military now before it's too late.
