    Those that don't comply will be the minority, and both politicians and companies count on that - they will be eventually coerced into complying by being shut out of vital tasks, and eventually deemed criminals for being unable to comply with legally mandated government paperwork.

    @csolisr That's not how things went down on Discord. Why don't you stop demotivational concern trolling when you don't have anything constructive to offer?

    Because Discord was one single site with viable alternatives, so the market logic was still able to pressure them. This is an all-out attack on every single website at once, sponsored simultaneously by the government and the companies, and with actual criminal sanctions for non-compliance - boycotting will eventually become legally impossible. The only feasible remedy is to pressure the governments themselves to change the law.

    @csolisr it's not "boycotting", it's adding as much friction to the process as possible. And "eventually legally impossible" is not "currently legally impossible".

    @csolisr
    I do have a govt-registered ID for when I need to interact with govt services. When done, I sign out, shut down browsers, clear data, change VPN IP then fire up normally again.

    @csolisr back in 2021 when I wanted to get a Covid vaccine from the Rite Aid down the road from me the only way to make an appointment was with a Google account (and they didn’t take walk ins). There was no way I was connecting my Google account to Rite Aid even though I’m sure it’s all owned by Peter Thiel at this point anyway. I ended up going to the National Guard site at the dead mall.

    There are also a whole bunch of businesses that don’t have Customer service addresses on their website, you can only contact them through Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, so I guess I just don’t do business with those businesses.
