RickyRigatoni's reply was valid. The OP mentioned Iran killing 20k protestors as a MAGAt excuse for Trump's illegal and stupid war. You called this "whitewashing", which it isn't, because even though the killings did occur, they do not constitute a valid justification as the MAGAts claim.. This was RickyRigatoni's point. Nobody is defending or denying Iran's killing of protesters.
Companies often spend a lot on packaging to make their product seem more attractive than it really is...
Who would have thought that the pro-pedophile party would take such a position?
It also undermines the entire petrodollar/Bretton Woods system that gives the almighty US dollar its power. This will be a big win for China, when countries start trading in their USD for Yuan buy oil.
To an extent, yes, but they could do it much more easily and accurately if there was a unique, biometric identifier associated with all your actions across your devices which cannot be disabled.
It isn't even just the government, big tech wants this too. They want to be able to track everything you do with your computer, and that's more easily achieved if OS level identification is required. Big tech wants it for data harvesting and ad targeting, the government wants it for surveillance and narrative control. The end goal is government verified digital ID that will be required to use any operating system. There will be no anonymity anymore. This creates a panopticon effect in which people police themselves because they know they are always being watched. Furthermore, the information you receive in your social media feeds and web searches can be silently curated based on what is known about your political attitudes. It can all be managed by AI.
It blocks ads and promotional segments by default
This is the correct answer
It won't be government supplied. You'll buy a basic terminal from some big tech company, and then subscribe to a plan that will grant you access to remote processing, memory, and cloud storage. Think Google Stadia but for everything. Using a computer will be more like using, say, the PlayStation store. You won't be able to install whatever you like - only what is made available. Piracy or adblocking will be impossible. Privacy and anonymity will become things of the past. Even news and information will be curated. And you'll have to keep paying for it all in perpetuity, while being tracked and forced to consume manipulative, targeted advertising.
