Google has been attempting to license the right to write.

There are a lot of poor people, mostly brown people, who do not have the ability to get one of these licenses.

Some of them are feeding themselves with their ability to write, and Google is literally stealing that food from their mouths.

I think this argument isn't likely to go far, considering its use of a type of condemned speech (DEI). Part of the purpose of having ID verification for developers is to ensure that Google can provide information to the authorities so that developers can be held accountable for promoting such anti-government and terroristic ideology.

Can I ask what you mean when you say "write"? Are you talking about literature / articles, or software?

This is new to me, want to stay on top of it.

		I think the commenter is alluding to writing software, as software is considered speech in some places.

Careful about demanding that dystopia not discriminate against anyone. Because you just might get it, and it'll still be a dystopia.

This is a textbook “bad faith” argument.

Just because someone is part of a particular demographic doesn’t mean they are suddenly incapable of harming them.

You were so close to realizing class is the only thing that matters. But thankfully a good western education make that thought impossible.
