Wouldn't be a stretch to assume this is forced by 3 letter agencies and it's details leaked for sale on an exclusive dark web. Think of all the insidious corruption we find out about via declassification 50 years later. It's

Most "rewards" programs (including for grocery stores) are to allow payment method-based tracking. Right now it's illegal to track users/customers based on payment method. This is more than just an upsell.

I recently found it's due to Cloudflare DNS. Cloudflare uses DNS over HTTPS and for some reason archive.today (russian) rejects it (likely anti-privacy measure).

Bitcoin is an example of this already played out. News cycle perpetuates bitcoin == bad so everyone you know just repeats "scam" and points to criminals. Meanwhile the largest institutions and richest people are investing heavily

Most law enforcement is "above" local jurisdiction practically speaking. Police are local militias with a near-military supply of weapons, technology, and surveillance. Cities often seek judgement or ways to control law enforcemen

Financial services is particularly interesting as a study case as it is almost 100% information processing, hence fully "disruptable". Why is it not happening? Never underestimate mass opinion shaping by incumbants. There

Centralizing control of something that was designed to be distributed This is human nature/greed unfortunately. Look at any natural (distributed) resource. The current economic system rewards this as well.

Using a very small window of 3 years in a society built around the automobile as anecdotal evidence isn't as concrete evidence as you might believe. Macro-trends always contain variance which can infer an opposite micro-trend. The hous
