        People still look at me like I’m some sort of conspiracy theorist when I say that it’s all connected back to capitalism

      WEF Agenda from years ago. Which governments are using as guidelines.

      State Censorship with the help of Corps. heading toward Digital IDs.

      This is from their site, and what their white paper entails to aim for as a goal to have a central ID that can be used to easily keep track (read: doxx you) via everything you do, and about you. As it will be connected to everything, including social media, obviously. What we are seeing is the slow normalisation of this. With the goal being fully there by 2030 at the latest. Albeit I have seen 2027 being thrown around for some partial goals.

      So, no privacy, for control… Sorry, to protect you and your convenience. Yeah, that. Believe me, bro. Will never be abused. Promise.

      Central Bank Digital Currencies, over cash. Due to Dystopian levels of granular digital control over the currency. Friends from the bank I used to work on the IT side have already been getting briefed that these are coming down the pipe, eventually. This was done in late 2024. These things are slow to test and implement and take time but they are coming.

      Resource management that will become intrusive in your every day, via smart everything and endless bureaucracy.

      Less purchases and owning, more subscription models in absolutely everything that is possible.

      Essentially technocrats larping as activists who “care” about society, for grift and profit.

        This is pretty crazy how its been in the open for so long but when you talk to people about the WEF they look at you like you’re telling them the world is flat, Its in the open for all to see but everyone has their heads in the sand and wont realise until its too late, i mean it is already. As it seems alot of these things in the diagram and what you’ve said has already come true.

        I cannot describe in accurate enough words how terrified this makes me for the future and how apathetic people will be to it.

          Yeah, it has been quite in the open. I used to be like those people until one day, I decided to stop being dumb and actually go take a closer look at the WEF and simply read between the lines and analyse how some of their policies would actually look if implemented in real life. All the WEF cliches are correct.

          But people are gullible and busy with their lives. The WEF and their proxies will lie because of course they will. And the average person is not going to go to the WEF site, read pages upon pages of white papers and read past the BS, cheery marketing and DEI coat they put over absolutely everything. The WEF may be cocky and have tons of self-righteous greedy, technocratic psychopaths but certainly they aren’t that stupid to spell it out directly.

          The white paper I got that picture from is all about inclusivity and DEI, while literally stating between the lines that they want to control and be able to monitor everything you do… For inclusivity, you see. It is almost insulting.

          Besides many people in power are WEF members and they will for sure deny or say it is a conspiracy theory despite them pushing for WEF-like policies.

          For example, up here in Canada. Trudeau was a graduate of the WEF’s Young Leaders Program, so he is all bought in. His Deputy PM/Finance Minister, Freeland, she was in the WEF’s Board. The leader of the other Left leaning, somewhat Socialist party, Singh, he was also a WEF member. Both parties formed a coalition to push a number of WEF-like policies. So is Macron of France, so was the Ex-PM of New Zealand, just to name some more.

          Trudeau ended up being hated, so Freeland ran for the Leadership of the Liberal Party and lost to Mark Carney. Oh, look, our newly minted PM, annointed by the Liberal Party to be their leader, as he had never once run for Political office or was voted in by anyone in the public… Carney is literally a member of the WEF’s Board of Trustees, the highest echelon within he WEF, besides the Schwab himself. What are the chances of that? Do we think he is going to push pro WEF-like policies? Yes or Yes?

          Just questioning why some in the highest circles of Canadian Politics are all WEF members is already something to be questioned. Given that Schwab has years ago l, openly and mockingly stated that he had infiltrated the Cabinets of many countries. Well, he ain’t lying.

          Lastly, check this presentation from the WEF I came across and the glee this presenter has for tech that will monitor your brain waves at wotk, just to see how productive you should be. Pure Dark Mirror stuff:

          ⭐ Ready for Brain Transparency? #WEF23 #Davos


          Bargain Privacy.

          ‘Workplace surveillance’ is a current practice aimed to increase and is expected, at least by some, to become a standard across industries. Such as, scanning your brainwaves -I am not kidding- during work, and thus monitor what you are doing and what type of thoughts you are having at all times. On this WEF presentation, they touch on thought and mental privacy, and cognitive liberty as issues to be tackled. Also, brain transparency policies where your work or even governments should inform you of what they are recording from you. Perhaps you may not want to be in a workplace where your brainwaves are constantly monitored yet, the Presenter wants and believes, this practice to become ubiquitous and that it is good, for your safety, fight crime and profit. When the question is, should we want this at all? Or outside narrow fields like say, practical medical uses? Do you want your brainwaves recorded by your employer or government agencies?

    Europe went from leader of internet freedom to Stasi police Gestapo in a few months.

    Guess there’s a top down policy to implement Fascism across Europe soon, judging by the speed at which Europe is passing dracnonic internet control.

      Among other things, Germany’s been quite strict about piracy, so they’ve been holding the L for a while now, and continue to do so…

    Internet advertising, spreading malware since the 90s. Barely do anything to hold digital advertisement networks accountable for what they distribute, not even copyright/fraudulent website cloning for servicing malware, but always ready to crack down on people trying to browse the internet more securely and always ready to make more money for the rich

    This is grounded in the assertion that a website’s HTML/CSS is a protected computer program that an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures (DOM, CSSOM, rendering tree), this constituting unlawful reproduction and modification.

    This is ridiculous… the in-memory structures are highly browser dependent, the browser is the one controlling how the DOM is represented in memory… it would imply that opening the website AT ALL in a different version of the exact specific one they target or with a different set of specific features/settings would also be a violation, since the memory structure would likely be different too.

    At that point, they might as well just ask for their website to not be visited at all.

      Yeah, the real BS is the claim to reclassify software in a website as a copyrighted work. And that that ad blockers “changing/blocking” the code in the computer, hence the vague argument relying on Privacy Law – would constitute, or so they say, as copyright infringement. Since the blocking cuts on their profits, as you did not let the copyrighted code run fully or in entirety. As doing so, would include ads and thus, revenue.

      It is an absolute wild and bonkers claim with so many down current repercussion that it would redefine the entire internet if somehow it managed to win the case and become legal precedent. Clearly, the lawyers either do not care or never bother to think about it. Common sense would say that it should get thrown out of court. Is that insane.

      Was discussing it with a lawyer friend and it is feasible or it could be argued by the reading of the claim, that if taken by the letter, that you blocking the java script on a site, would or could also be considered as “piracy,” too.

    Mozilla guy saying there’s a risk, but i dont really see it, myself.

    Firstly, does copyright really prevent modification for personal use? I dont think it does.

    Secondly, you’re not so much modifying the content as not consuming part of it. I think thats an important distinction for the court to grapple with.

    There are other ways to fight ads, if it comes to that. But I won’t say what they are - just in case there are spies in our ranks.

    They’re just going to do this with the TPM and similar chips that windows 11 semi-hard requires, and android, iOS, mac OS have already, anyway. The website will refuse to display if any modification whatsoever has been done to it, and any browser that refuses to comply to their standards will be blocked. There will of course be a couple hacks to get around it, but eventually they will close those leaks too. The open internet is very soon coming to an end.
