I can understand why governments would push for something like this after 9/11, though it of course goes without saying that this is a totally unacceptable violation of someone’s basic rights. It also goes without saying that governments always want more control over their citizens, but what exactly are they so worried might happen, right now, in 2025 or the near future?

    Hmm, that actually sounds pretty plausible. I think it’s also being propped up and bought (read: corruption) by Thiel’s fascist company.
