    If you don’t want to lose your privacy or right to access information, you should oppose these proposed laws.

    What’s this about Svalbard? They don’t even have you take off your balaclava at the bank.

        I hear the Norwegian army employs a lot of impressionable children nowadays.

    I’m on the fence of whether I am for or against this. It’s strictly against privacy. Bad.

    But if this passes, it might give me a good reason to just opt out of social media altogether. Might be good for me. 💁‍♂️

        Duh.

        This would just make it easier.

        But I still don’t want this. This was mostly tongue-in-cheek. I guess it was unclear, judging by the votes lol.

        It’s like saying “It’s good that android is degrading now I can finally quit using smartphones meanwhile the government and corporations makes having one more mandatory.”

        The problem is if they try and implement this at an operating system level like some US states are doing

      It isn’t just against privacy. The rich and powerful are trying to control the narrative, in essence what people know about the world. They want to make it to where only their truth is available to you. It’s very inconvenient to them that a bunch of them got caught diddling kids and they don’t want to get caught again. They’re absolutely not going to stop doing it, but they want to limit who can tell you when they do it and just pay those people off.
