Honestly with enshittification "technological dystopia" sounds like exactly where we already are. Now, if only implants weren't being R&D'd by Muskrat and there were some open source non-invasive version...

And I wonder how many of those 95% have already used misapplied AI facial recognition to justify FISA court warrants for ~~stalking~~ investigating ~~random people~~ suspected terrorists?
From what I remember, AI facial recognition tech was already being used by police and agencies worldwide, like the FBI, PRC police etc, or am I misinformed? I remember something about Chinese and American facial recognition software.
Honestly, with the way geopolitics is going right now, outright deglobalization sometime this century seems inevitable. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the current tensions turn into de facto Cold War II, with regional blocs that outright ban any trade or positive discourse about the other side, and hold high profile hearings on dissidents suspected of following the ideology of the other side.
The problem is that "they" live in the same world as you. Which means that you'd be going right down with them, along with all your loved ones. Is that really what you want?
Nobody is saying to shut down any instance, only that we, and others on the platform who think likewise, would like to not have to see those instances. Nobody is saying to shut down Truth Social or Pawoo or Baraag, for instance, despite having severe disagreements with those instances - we just decided, on our instances, not to federated with them. You aren't obligated to agree with us - you can make your own instance with your own rules, as others have said, or switch to an instance accommodating to your beliefs. But at the same time, it doesn't mean the rest of us have to listen. Think of defederation like blocking - I'm sure you have some sort of block list for trolls, spammers and bots. Same thing, but for an instance.
American-style capitalism
Give me a launch order, and I'll EMP this entire planet back to the stone age. Easy and semi-permanent regulation for the next few millennia.
Found the CSAM apologist.
Prohibition of CSAM seems to be universally accepted as a thing we should keep doing. What say you to that?
Steamroll us? Not if I have anything to say about it. I look forward to setting condition 1SQ for strategic launch of thermonuclear weapons. Hooyah navy. If this is to be our end, then let it be SUCH an end, so as to be worthy of remembrance. I would rather this entire planet and all things upon it burn in radioactive fire than be sacrificed on the altar of technology.
You might be today's lucky 10,000, but have you heard of the Domesticated Silver Fox?
