How long, though, until the normie experience finds gov idea requirements to use devices no big deal?
I think of how we've shifted on many such requirements: phone service in the US commonly requires ID, so do most modes of travel -- flights, car rental, train tickets, bus tickets).
I still think within five years most people will accept kyc'd app stores as entirely commonplace and expected.
Just earlier in the sauna we were discussing these car robberies where the thieves break-in to steal your keys first
And one of the boys said, why dont they just have face recognition on the steering wheel 💁
That's the normie mindset
Face recognition is actually cool and useful. The thing is, it's monopolized by big tech and involves a third party for it to work hence it's out of the question for anyone who values their privacy/sovereignty. So I get why your boy suggested it. Hopefully free (as in speech) tech catches up to mainstream tech within the next couple of years so we can have big tech conveniences without sacrificing freedom
As an extra - my token rich friend has a top of the range - range lol rover
And the insurance company made him fit a pin number contraption in the dashboard, so only the correct digits start the car

Yes. I encounter this all the time. Most people feel safer with more surveillance.
We haven't really seen a major fallout on the child safety act forcing people to kyc their socials

As an aside at my fiat mine yesterday, I was chatting to a workmate who said his shitty iPhone has updated itself and now wants a kyc document to proceed 🤣🤣
I said dump it for a Samsung android while it's still kyc free
But he was genuinely aghast at having to input his passport to look at his phone
