  • The government wants untraceable, anonymous user profiles they can control and use for espionage, etc., but also wish to track every user who accesses the web.

    They’re destroying their own tools as a trade off to control the population. (They feel weak and are worried about uprisings.) Soon enough the internet will require your digital ID for every website. At which point you might as well just get rid of your PC and smartphone and forget about the web entirely.

    If the tracking is no longer a background phenomena you can avoid if you’re diligent, but instead you’re carded each time you use the web, then it’s no longer a free information system worth using.
