so what? let politicians “protect” us? it already went too far. a lot of liberal democratic states are going towards electronic dictatorship, when you are under total control and allowed to do only what is permitted by somebody’s made-up rules. all those e-IDs tightly coupled with your biometric identity are no more than developing a simple idea — a simple idea that some people want to control other people.

so, no, thanks. i don’t want this, at least for those countries that are still more or less free from it. i already live in one where we have to fight this dictate every day: opening a browser, writing a post, doing whatever we want, but not the way guys who captured power want it.

this perspective — “just let them protect us” — comes from a democratic habit. when you’re used to living this way, you can trust elected people.
