The original japanese article.

The last part of the article was cut off. Here what it says, 2035: In most countries, messaging apps (including email clients) are considered "critical applications" that must undergo government approval before publication.

I didn't take my time to read this with my full attention, I'll be the first to admit; But I think this article is being way too dramatic and paranoid. And thats coming from somebody certifiably overdramatic and paranoid.

EDIT: to add, it does have some reference to past and current events in the technology space but it quickly devolves into baseless, referenceless speculation.

Also, is this just a "stole this topic from xyz social media" article but from Hacker News instead of Reddit?

So like how news outlets repost AP articles. Gigazine links to the original blog post. That's better then most news outlets.

but it quickly devolves into baseless, referenceless speculation.

Gazoche's blog post and Gigazine article are open about that part is wildly speculative and hypothetical.
