Most importantly, Miller is wrong. Plenty of stable societies existed that did not conform to his "iron laws". Such "laws" might apply, however, to centralised, hierarchical political systems, especially those dominated by psychopaths like Stephen Miller.
"We live in a world, in the real world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time."
And with these words, Stephen Miller damns his soul to hell for all eternity.

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

There's a really common view that basically goes 'the reason why we are centralised is a London-driven conspiracy' rather than 'the reason we are centralised is that the suburbs, exurbs and villages don't like being run by the city in essentially *any* democracy'.

He's never seen such a COLLECTIVE effort to control a website, but he's certainly seen a centralised effort to do so. The people vs billionaires. That's why what is happening on Reddit and what happened on Twitter are complete opposites.

Worse, you'll be uploading it to one of a choice of 3rd party centralised systems that will probably be selling the data.

2. People seek to destroy what they feel excluded from. Centralised “democracies” exclude all but a rarefied circle from genuine power. Centralised democracy is a contradiction in terms.

Distributed energy networks are far more secure for energy supply than centralised systems
Energy security in the widest sense.
What's not to like and why do the Right seem to like the more controlling centralised systems? Maybe they have shares in them!!

It's genuinely impossible to argue with these people because they have a belief. It's not something they have reached via learning or research, just a feeling that things were better when there was a centralised imperial society based on bloodshed and slavery. Can't think why.

Civil libertarians in the UK have opposed ID cards and centralised record keeping on the grounds of potential for abuse by authoritarian governments and malicious agents. The US is not exactly weakening their case.

There’s an old debate in economics about whether the old Soviet system failed simply because it didn’t have enough data/computing power. Since video games are all about computing power, inevitable that the two would converge? See your colleague from a few years ago on.ft.com/3HfqsBc

5. Effectively, people belonged to those who could wield terror and violence. Tyranny, terror and bondage are, I believe, the default state of centralised, hierarchical societies. The freedoms we enjoy today are highly contingent and unusual.

Japan is setting up its first centralised intelligence agency since WWII, the National Intelligence Bureau, to coordinate intelligence, counter espionage, and respond to national security threats, CNN reports.
It could pave the way for a foreign intelligence agency like MI6.
