@nileane the danger is a desireable outcome for Apple:

  • Expect Apple to instantly implement localized censorship and Stalkerware features in places like KSA…
    • After all, they allow the KSA's Govware, Absher, in their AppStore!

Thus scraping together sone hide-able & secure comms is an act of survival…

  • And I expect this to become an even bigger Problem in the "West", as Cyberfascists are allowed to make bs laws and not get kicked out of office and straight into jail for even proposing then!

FOLKS! to properly ride this AI hatewave:

1. connect the dots with another big bust, ―bombing Iran― and the OPEC countries aggressively funding techbros to #aislop the USA

2. tell folks of all the aislopping techbros paying politicians to pass #ageVerification laws so they can use that info for their AI #stalkerware

the Ai hatearade is a rare moment of clarity among USA’s hegemonic majority.

this *is* the #antifa angle that could turn your families from the MAGA brink. USE IT.
