A natural follow on from the under 16 social media bans.
I remember when we used to laugh at the restrictions China had on the internet, yet we’re happily walking down the same path.

If they want to block normies from porn and social media I don’t really give a shit. My fear is they are going to come after the fundamantal technology next: encryption, open source, open computing. eKaren used to work for very Big Tech. Everything about recent moves looks like a huge power grab for big tech and big media to data mine and control us more than ever with the force of government behind them.
They won’t be happy with people like me not buying and using their products, blocking their ads etc. The ultimate enshitification approaches. Total corporate control of our lives. Our votes and opinions are theirs to influence for their benefit and not ours.

This is what I fear too. I have never been on FB, Bezos can get f*ed, and I’m trying to deGoogle, but I fear they will come after the Fediverse and anything not controlled by Big Tech in the name of “safety”.
