In for the kill. Silicon valley are rabid pack animals.

But now that everybody has a web connected computer in their pocket, and all of those things are run by the techlords, I don't see how it will be overcome. I was reading today that in Beijing all passengers must scan a covid qr on their phones in order to enter a taxi.

All of money and talent that has poured into 'defense' intelligence and technology and weapons of warfare - it was inevitable they would turn it on their own people sooner or later. And the people have been complicit by the addictive nature of the technology luring them.

I don't see how this turns around. It won't.
