Can't we build a gateway in the internet that detects if someone is a influential CEO or something and just bar access to the internet?

I was just saying yesterday that we (Finland) could take the bullet and create a luxury resort for all the zillionaires in the world.

Connect them with each other and populate their air-gapped "Internet" with like-minded authoritarian AI-bots and create special news like Don and Vladimir are being fed to keep them from tantrums. A win win for everyone!

Ooh, and mental health services. Plenty of mental health services as we're so poor of a race that even our richest can't afford enough therapy to feel alright!

If you have more than 100 million in the bank you should be barred from using the internet...

Cool, so no change? Even even a multi-billionaire usually doesn't have a 100 million lying in the bank (unless they sold some asset and are going to buy another soon).

		I think you know yourself that the parent poster didn't mean literally coins in a bank vault like Scrooge McDuck.

What does this have to do with age verification?

		We've already decided to do verification of users, now we can look into which groups of users should be limited or barred entirely.
