My grandfather died of electrocution in 1996. Would he be still alive today, given that he was born in 1927, if he would meticulously scrutinize every millimeter of electric cords he ever touched for potential cracks?

Well if nobody subscribes for death, why are people still mortal?
Meanwhile in Russia, approx. 3000 people are reported to die of corona in 5 months. In 2019, 16'900 died in road accidents. That gives approx. 7000 in 5 months. Which is twice as many, but I can't remember anyone locking down the roads, scanning QR codes in order to unlock the car or zealously repeating the NEW NORMAL, THE WORLD HAVE CHANGED mantra out of every hole. Heck, neither can I remember anyone constructing concrete barriers instead of purely nominal double center lines between adjacent opposite lanes where possible!
anonymity is transparency

If we translate this motto from the newspeak, it would be this: the New Oil must flow smoothly without asking uncomfortable questions about the piping.
They are zealously pushing the "ever increasing speeds" of questionable benefit for the user - what for? So that commuters could watch 8k 120fps video while on a bus? Or rather to gather all kind of sensor data in real-time, audio and video included, from their human oil wells? To strip off people's clothes with millimetre wave imaging?
But making it easy for people to run their own home/mobile servers, share and cooperate without govporate oversight is clearly not on their agenda.
