I don’t disagree with you. But there’s also a flip side. Nazis and other bigots wouldn’t be so open in their bigotry, which could lead to them recruiting fewer people to their cause. Also, state actors such as Russia and China wouldn’t be able to sow mis- and disinformation so readily.

For the record, I believe Nikki’s plan is dumb and will never, ever happen. I’m just using my imagination to see some potential for benefits.

Got a wake up call for you

They would only enforce it against the ones speaking out against the bigots and nazis.

This is a way to track online dissidents who will be a threat to project 2025
