All of these things:
- digital ids
- chat control
- central bank digital curencies (CBDC) (that is centrally controlled people accounts)
- all kinds of surveillance
- AI
Strengthens the state apparatus and weakens individual agency.
A nice video I seen today about this not so nice future (made with AI):
Maybe those things will not pass (at least in EU). At least EU does not pass legislation as quickly as others can.
But some people have different ideas, lijke where is group of people who actively want EU federalization (which actually means more centralization). CBDCs, ProtectEU program etc. are other centralization forms centralizing decision making.
I love EU it is so decentralized, but some want to make it worse.
Let’s fight for decentralization of all forms to keep the freedom.
