You didn't actually refute any of the examples I gave. Show me the benefits of internet which helped equal sharing of the resources of this planet. Show me how internet did not help concentration of power and wealth. Show me how people

So, you want to negotiate on how much privacy you are willing to give up in order to have a strong state-level control. But what do you have at your disposal, to influence that negotiation? Vote? Technology? Tariffs?
