It's for the same reason governments all over started to implement "age verification" laws all of a sudden, they never tell us their real motivation. That we can only speculate on, but for many people it seems they just go al

But this has nothing to do with combating scammers in the first place, have you never used the play store before? It's overwhelmingly scam apps with the most intrusive ad/tracking shit imaginable. There are scammers openly buying

Pretty much the same laws in red and blue states yeah. It always gets confusing when Americans use the word liberal, everyone is a liberal, it never meant *your* liberty.

I think it was both the horrible technical implementation and the full and total control they demanded over it. It's like what I would imagine the Oasis to look like ten years after the bad guys won in Ready Player One. The internet on

What a perfect example to demonstrate the "collective ignorance and hypocrisy of western people" they were mentioning. There is a dichotomy in "Corruption", it is weaponized as a tool of neocolonialism in the continued s

Nationalism can be a significant motivator for decolonial resistance, it's not always a bad thing, within the imperial core it is undoubtedly bad though.

But it feels like a slippery slope argument to me, like how do you go so quickly from standardized web APIs to your ChromeOS/TCPA dystopia? I think that's quite the leap to make, especially considering we already have those locked

These people would argue against the weekend on economic grounds too if we didn't have it already, everything seems unimaginable until it becomes real. Its like trickle down economics, you can make the "economic" argument fit

This is kind of like social security, medicare or the 5 day work week, if everyone suddenly had $x more disposable income per year? Landlords and grocery stores and everyone else would raise prices because they know people can afford it.
