Looks like Twitter intends to bring in a system where one needs to verify themselves with government ID.
People will argue its good for eliminating bots, but i think the majority here see's the problem with this.
Reality is the web has shrunk massively compared to 25 years ago. When i was a teenager i remember reading that i could spend the rest of my life online and not see 5% of whats out there.
Compare this to today where Google claims billions of results, but only actually shows you 10-20 pages.
(I see Google no longer gives results in pages (now it endlessly scrolls) but we can combine search engines to see the reality.)
2.4 billion results.
Presearch only giving 10 pages of results.
Incase people don't know Everyone uses Google results. Duckduckgo, Startpage, ect.
If anyone wanted to "endlessly scroll" with google i doubt you'd find more then 200, 300 results total.
Truth Stream Media pointed this out what seems like a few years ago, of the ever shrinking web. Remember when the CEO of Google said..
CEO: Know how Google gives alot of results when you search for something?
Reporter: Ya?
CEO: Well, that's a bug.
Where am i going with this? We are all constantly being corralled into a little pen. One single echoing chamber where only one narrative will be given and everyone will be identified. If you fall out of line you will be dealt with quickly.
Imagine Orwell's
1984 on steroids in about 10-20 years.
