The entire internet will be real id verified soon. You won't even be able to send packets without a hardware digital signature linked to a real id. Might as well get used to it.

I bet that if you don't use companies that enforce these verifications, and they start to lose money, things will shift very fast.

No. Google and Apple are already rolling out the infrastructure. FCC is requiring IDs for phones. It will be opt-in for a while but the acceleration of AI risks will inevitably lead to an infrastructure level lock down of the entire internet. 99% of the population will accept it without hesitation because it is no different than what they do already. Everything you do online is already logged and tracked. The only thing moving to digital real id does is prevent criminal activity.

		> The only thing moving to digital real id does is prevent criminal activity. As defined by the politicians bought and paid for by the corporations via their lobbyists. You actually think this is a good thing?
