We had it coming.. I do let my thoughts Go, that you Someehen need to identify yourself to even connect to the internet.

They didn't apply laws to regulate some stuff, so now they start hammering down to enforce Control.

And big tech and companies will absolutely be one of the hardest Driver for this. There are Potential new ways to make Money. Basically a wet dream for especially big tech.
