      Yup. Followed by the AI surveillance state. The Stasi has been digitized and never sleeps!

        You know, god bless the bots because they’re probably soaking up at least some watts of surveillance.

          That’s what digital ID is for! To correlate the real humans activity. The Flock video surveillance can then be linked to your real world movements along with digital currency to track your buying habits! Your phone and wireless earbuds to listen for keywords a rat you out to the government! What a wonderful utopia!

          Feeling free yet?
