This whole thing worldwide will lead to division in the society and to people having secret social media accounts. Only the most lazy and stupid ones will be handing over their private data to any gov security forces.

With so much browser fingerprinting and the biggest social networks being US companies, I wouldn't be surprised if already a company like Palanti has a dataset with all your history

They don't need fingerprinting, all the American social media has probably already been given a sealed FISA order to hand over account lists with ip access logs.

I feel like it's the same as the "I am not a terrorist" declaration check-box. You know your socials, they know your socials. They want to see if you lie.

What do you mean, secret? Your every action online is stored in massive data centres either operated by the US government or American mega corporations.

I can’t believe people STILL believe there is anonymity left online!

Unless you take some “enemy of the state”(great movie btw) level actions, they know everything worth knowing about you.
