The current phase is for getting people socialized there, who then will be too accustomed to it to leave.

I wouldn't mind betting there'd be, (one-way?), freedom of access agreement with the states anyway - DO NOT TRUST THE - unless you do not mind being observed, and depending on your political viewpoint, being victimised through the various tools we have already seen being used in amerikkka.

They claim to have no access to the user's identity data and that it stays local on the device. So why do they need you to scan your passport while they are countless ways to authenticate anonymously?
In a press report they say that the goal is to confirm you're humain without revealing who you are, yet in the very next sentence they say that they encourage a culture where users engage under their real names, WTF?

it is okay to known't things. it is also somehow okay not to ask because often you dont know what to ask or that you should ask.

but you are an idiot if you dont listen to experts afterwards, because then you know better.

further you are a top tier piece of shit if your ego is too high to admit you did wrong and that you then fight for your wrong decision because you tell yourself you know better
