That’s a fallacious argument. It’s like saying using a laptop made in 2026 is the exact same as using a laptop made in 2010 for privacy standards. News flash, it ain’t.
The killswitches in question wouldn’t apply to all new vehicles, or well, they would just be EVs, because they’re planning to ban regular vehicles.
Please restate concisely, then.
Appreciate the perspective
Samson Option.
How does Taiwan fit into all of this?
How the heck does the world “negate” or oppose Israel with the Samson Option running around?
Not all GPT users are American/residing in America
Even foss is under attack. Linux (amongst other OS) are being forced to comply with integrating OS-level age verification checks, which means invading privacy and contributing to mass surveillance.
People have been arrested for developing end-to-end encryption too.
i.e. if a country trades with Cuba, the US hits them with sanctions as a punishment (or threatens to)?
Just seeing if I got that right.
Let’s hope that happens, sooner rather than later.
Alright, it’s good to hear some data about their population distribution.
Them being electric/having digital components lets companies monitor your vehicles the same way they do monitor your online presence.
You can look up the killswitch thing, it’s planned in Europe iirc. It’s being sold as being introduced so as to “reduce drunk driving”, but obviously once that’s in place it can be used to manufacture car accidents and the sort.
Any time someone says these “technological advancements” are anything but innocuous, they get rammed as “fear-mongering”.
It says this is in cities only. That seems to neglect rural areas, no?
Why exactly? What reasons?
Gonna get blasted for this, given the overall sentiment here in the comments towards EVs, but EVs are going to be used to monitor people everywhere they go and have killswitches, and other shit I’d not wanna deal with.
You can say that individual police members aren’t more likely than mass shooters to kill people, sure.
However, it is still true that the police is that big and they still killed much more people.
If you can use this data to forecast estimates, and popularity growth can be assumed to be linear, we’d be at least two generations away from a majority in the latest generation at that time; and another 2-3 generations so that there’s an overall majority in the entire country by then.
So it seems to be half a century, as an optimistic estimate, for there to be an overall majority, not including time needed for political reorganization.
It seems appropriate to conclude that someone living today shouldn’t expect the revolution in their lifetime.
Nice to see some humanity to out-groups. Bit of a scarcity nowadays.
Goodbye!
