No thanks, you can keep your big brother is watching yet another subscription dystopian cloud computing.

People used to freak out about the government putting an electronic chip in their brains, but I can tell you from spending several days amidst the common man that people are ardently in favour of private entities sticking electronic chips in their palms. The future is Silicon Valley meets East Germany.

Modern kids are stupid, hell most people born since 2000 leave a lot to be desired regarding gullibility and allowing stupid shit to go unchecked.

However Gex X is still managing to keep the world spinning, and stupid shit wont fly around us.

This, of course, only helps to speed up the “age”/ identity verification agenda.

It was never about the children.

Yes. That's why I called it 'worm-tonguing'.

It's a reference to a fictional character who uses whispers and court intrigue to effectively usurp and control a fictional kingdom.

The implication was that private computing abd communication would be the only things that *are actually somewhat safe* for children, when *people like that* are deciding policies.
