      The only thing you can do is protect the intelligensia who can help shape smart policy for a better future whilst also exiling* the billionaires and politicians (mostly the lifetime politicians who have no discernible skills other thank taking bribes and being corrupt pieces of shit).

      *exiting or something more dramatic.

              You’re absolutely right, but if everyone goes authoritarian . . . they are likely to end up on top /s

              Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking… Wait we are talking about the US right?

                No, the topic was Canada and moving to China for less surveillance and more privacy, my confused friend. The west is regressing to where China already is and then plus some.

                  If you mean Internet monitoring and social media policing… Wait are we talking about the UK?

            Maybe I’m missing the vibe here, but are you guys still talking about the subject of this post? If so, just a heads-up: all three apps mentioned in the title have been banned in China for well over a decade.
