I would not be against digital transparency (on social media etc., not your search history or private communication), if we lived in an utopian society, but as things stand, the “system” is abused by the elites & corps.

Therefore if, if this were to pass now & you did anything they don’t like, they will be able to stop you even easier & likely fully. It would completely rob us of the ability to fight back. E.g. posting something about a politician being corrupt or a corp evil & instantly getting sued for reputational damages, insulting an official etc.

    more importantly, it would be a choice to share what we wanted, comforted by the idea that the data wasn’t being harvested to sell, manipulate, track, and police us. Human beings like connecting with others, but we don’t like being taken advantage of and commodified.

    Isn’t it enough to post this to your own community, you had to X-post at least 5 times (just this user; your comm is moderated by a 2nd MadeinDex)? And it’s not even a proper article, just one of your showerthoughts?
