    I like it!

    Pleased you like it but what do you think?

    Could it happen? Is it happening now?

    It's certainly plausible. I can envision something along the way that you wrote. I don't necessarily like it. But I have the confidence that the many will eventually prevail. And yes, it could happen and possibly slowly showing signs of it now. The few that are conscious to it, will do their do diligence when the time comes.
    What do you have to say to that, if I may ask?

    I think I would agree with you - I think it isn't hear yet for most people. In some respects we have seen examples of this sort of thing but they have been well publicised - e.g. KimDotcom etc. so only really partial examples.

    When it happens silently and is not publicised is when it will be particularly dangerous because those people and their voices will just disappear.

    Imagine one day you go to log into your business Facebook page or you business gmail and find it is just closed or cut off and you have no recourse to get it back.

    Further if it is tied up to your online identity and that gets blocked you may find yourself completely shut out of society.

    Imagine if some future government made it so that your online identity was needed to buy food, water or pay your bills.

    Being locked out this way could potentially leave you homeless, starving and even dead.

    Ok, all that I agree. Just to be Frank, I'm not scared. I could see most people in fear of all those things, but I'm not most people. Not to brag, Just being Frank.
