we are actually on the brink of total free-internet death & nobody gives a shit
i feel like everybody thinks its not gonna happen because we've cried wolf many times before but i'm telling you one of these days in the near future you will turn on your device and you'll just see a message akin to
>"in order to proceed, for identity verification purposes, please take a picture of your face and a government issued ID"
and there will be no way of bypassing that shit and the realization will set in that your days of shitposting & browsing 4chan & jerking off to anime titties will be over forever.
I mean just think about how close we already are: Porn is literally already fully locked down in the UK. Australia has fully banned social media for kids. Discord & twitter has been locked down. And now google, apple, and windows are working on OS level verification.
There was a petition in the UK to stop this shit and it got massive support (500k+ supporters) but the government literally jsut said fuck you lol we're gonna keep going.
In all seriousness why does nobody give a fuck? i feel like there were more outrage over that net neutrality thing a couple of years back which really wasn't all that serious in retrospect. This current situation however is.

Am I the only one who feels like all those demoralization posts about so-called "AI" making taking your job, making your code worthless, making you worthless in last consequences have a strong COINTELPRO vibe to them? You cannot tell me that the attached image, which gets spammed on /g/ relentlessly, does not resemble in its underlying messaging and the conveyed malice the letter from the FBI to Marthin Luther King to push him into suicide. This, by the way, is completely separate from what you think about COINTELPRO or the poltiics of that era, it's only about methodology. There is nothing natural about the AI shills on this website and their methodology of trying people to get to give up seems actively malicious, while acting as if they were just some random /g/ user who just happens to think that you should give up and kill yourself, because of .... something with AI...m'kay?

>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.
