The number one reason Elon bought Xitter is to use the steady stream of information/community notes to train his AI and keep his AI uptodate as much as possible.
Do I know this for fact. No, but this makes the most sense to me.
While it is fun to think up supervillain plots, the government already does it and they already have access to your data. They not only demand the data be reported by individuals, they also have all the banking system reporting every large transaction and now want routine access to transactions down to $600. They can even put you in jail if you don't report to them.
They also hold the power to decide if you can get on an airplane, get into public buildings, purchase a firearm, and get a passport. If they decide to, they can get access to your communications, track your cell phones, monitor your social media, amd more with rubber stamped secret court warrants. They can take possession of any cash and property you have and the onus is on you to prove that it is not ill gotten. They control the system to allow background checks for employment and rentals for criminal records and credit applications.
Yes, I agree, and I keep pointing out (Screaming Into The Void 😂) that totalitarianism was working just fine in the USSR & Red China in the paper ‘n’ pencil days. What we must be vigilant about is not technology but our uniquely American Bill of Rights.
Exactly, i keep a stash of cash and support small local businesses by using cash when I purchase from them. I wish more people would do the same, keep cash going.

That ship has sailed many years ago.

Too early to tell. Want to trust, but things are too strange at the moment. Cautious and curious :)
Ever the optimist...
Yikes! That must be a very helpless feeling. It’s why we try to keep using cash as much as we can and avoid digital wallets.
