this is a REALLY excellent video on internet surveillance and data capitalism…
advertising fueled the free internet and encouraged companies to make a mad dash to grab all the data possible…
i hope when this digital ID stuff comes to america we can get sane legislation around it… most likely though, its going to be up to us individuals to fight for our rights online :(
yea tbh, I think he had some good points based on what matt was reading. i think theres good arguments to be made that the current internet we have for just about anyone that isn’t trying to go full anonymous tech (which is REALLY HARD) is a far shot from the cryptopunk free internet future that was projected in the 90s. People went from running their own web server and hosting content they owned, to giving away data to platforms for the price of getting free entertainment and easier socialization. Add on to that that FAANG basically control a majority hold on most internet realestate used in the western world… its dystopian tracking. At least for the most part this is seperate from your real person identity, and you can go freely from platform to platform as you wish, without having to worry about being tied down to your background. to me it seems like britain and australia want to make it even harder to have ANY small inkling of privacy on the internet… imagine not only would amazon/microsoft/google/apple, etc… now just have a profile of your preferences based on cookies and history in your browser and DNS history…. now they’d have everything on you and be able to track your entire history of your digital ID that lives on chain… and if that chain is super public, so can everyone else too… starting to sound like a black mirror episode in my opinion….
