It’s already impossible to be anonymous on the internet. Our governments just want it to be cheaper and easier to track us, so they can scare us and oppress us if they want to. Also, billionaires want to sell us more crap we don’t want or need, and use their bots to keep us divided and ignoring how much they’re stealing from all of us, all of which is easier if they know exactly who we are and what we’re doing at all times.
But, you know, no lengths are too far because it’s “for the children”. We all know how much our governments and billionaires care about our children.
I’d just cancel the ride if it wouldn’t come to me. I’m not walking into traffic to get to a taxi of any sort. Maybe that’s par for NYC or San Francisco, but I’m not doing it.
