A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zones—or “lose.”

*80 million* (out of 190 million) bank accounts were closed in #Vietnam for not having #biometric #KYC.

The same things are happening in the #Philippines and in #Thailand.

The #UK wants to introduce #digital_id and #India already has it implemented – #Aadhaar.

RIP #republic?

#uk #against #digital_id, they rejected it once in Tony Blair's time and maybe will do it again. What about India? What about #aadhaar?

Not sure how many are aware, there's a massive farmers' movement going on against the Union Govt of India. Interestingly they demanded an exit from the WTO. Because they, the farmers, want minimum support price for their crops and Union Government denies pointing at WTO regulations. #farmers #WTO
