It’s one of those things I’d love to see done as an experiment

I believe you've got a fantastic idea here, not only to see how this one idea pans out, but to learn how we might build a better society. There's little reason we couldn't simultaneously have multiple test centres, each using a different system. Scientific method 101.

China famously began its modern transformation in the 80s by creating Special Economic Zones.

This post is fantastic for 2 reasons:

  1. It's so important to raise awareness of how these 'conveniences' like the Ring Doorbell are being turned into the chains that will bind society

  2. This post includes an in-image cite with both text url and a QR! This should be standard on any image post like this.

Well played.

David Allen's GTD for the overarching structure and routine.

Rainer König's Getting Yourself Organized with Org-mode for application within Org-mode.

YMMV

Would you happen to have a cite supporting the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove their statements weren't defamatory? I'm not familiar with that.

Here's a map showing the locations of this corporation's existing readers: DeFlock.me

It's operated by a group of privacy advocates and educators to spread awareness. Flock tried to use a bogus trademark claim to interfere with the project.

 

Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

Since you asked...
