Honestly, if it took until today with the small additions to the already sweeping shitbills that are codified into law before you became angry or worried, you're just not paying attention. And an ignorant electorate deserves the fall of their country.

I've been shouting this from the rooftops for two decades. It's been going on for forever (like when we gathered around the transistor radio for family fun), but now it's just getting more creepy as technology improves.

It's nearly impossible to be anonymous. But I do choose carefully what data to share and to whom. A very worrying trend in the US is this push to identify verify everything. You MUST use an app with fingerprinting. You must enter a valid US phone number to register. You have to send LinkedIn a copy of your photo ID... No. Just stop it.

No they don't. That is the epitome of victim blaming.
