Literally 1984. Those who will refuse to sell their private info to big capitalist will be limited, thus they will be information restricted.

Not even close. This will fragment the internet and take power away from surveillance capitalists. A huge amount of people will simply disengage from the Epstein class brainwashing. I'm looking forward to it. The internet used to be way more interesting and fun when it was fragmented.

Maybe more akin to Brave New World, and the "savages" who don't live in the fucked up society they created.

Just minus the soma holidays

Can we not stay up to date with what is happening without owning a social media account? I think the only thing we are missing is social media trends that change frequently.
