No one wants to go to prison. Nevertheless, a digital prison is being installed around western civilization.
Governments operate surveillance cameras, embed surveillance in nearly every device with an electron (cars, phones, computers, TVs, even appliances), track your bank and more. The income tax is a massive data harvesting operation. Now, they are building digital ID and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
To me, it all violates the 3rd Amendment. US citizens are being compelled to quarter the government at great personal expense and with massive peril to freedom. The threat to privacy is clear.
But, hey, maybe it's just to keep us all safe?
