Yeah, I've come to this conclusion as well. Many people are still clinging to the notion that tech is just a tool, that it is neutral and all that. Well, it's probably not. Some are hoping for social networks to spread the message, some others are seeking for digital salvation in open source, crypto, blockchain etc, etc. Of course, that's nice and all, but I'm not sure I believe in tech solutions anymore. Tech was never meant to liberate or help people. TPTB see tech only as a tool of control and nothing much more.

Hell, maybe that even was one of the main reasons why UK left the EU. So they could test run this digital prison in a single "independent" country before they impose it on the whole continent.
