Chat control and a CBDC all in one week — well done, Europe!

Now all the EU needs is an “under 16 social media ban” like the UK/Australia (AKA “ID everyone and de-anonymize the internet under the guise of protecting the children”) and they’ll have the totalitarian trifecta:

1. No private free speech (chat control)
2. No public free speech (under 16 ban)
3. No freedom to transact (CBDC)

Put all these together and the EU totalitarians will be able to immediately freeze your access to the financial system whenever you share a hurty words meme publicly or privately.

Your private communications are no longer private, so you cannot speak freely privately.

Your public communications are tied to your real-word identify, so you cannot speak freely publicly.

All of this is tied to your access to the financial system, which can be severed instantly while you wait for the Thought Police to arrive at your door and take you to jail for noticing.
