@_elena @david I'm reminded of how what3words initially utilised their founders contacts in music and then started to shove itself everywhere in the emergency services. To the point of ITV (UK television) gave them free advertising and also showcased them unofficially in Emmerdale (a soap opera)
I do wonder if there's more digging to do into the wider networks of w founders. Is it just that they flattered the EU so much at Davos, or does there need to be more scrutiny to see who else wants w?

@_elena @david With the focus on age verification and the data associated with that, we do need to consider who within the various agencies like Europol would like that.
Because it's being pushed so hard.

@onepict @_elena I have no doubt they want to connect posts to people for monitoring purposes. Whether its their primary focus or a byproduct of something else, its still worrying because it feels like criticism is being logged for later "use".
