Privacy vanished between 2020 and 2025 Money, movement, and speech were all traceable for the first time in human history. The machinery: 1. Digital transactions: credit card networks, banks, and the blockchain. 2. Physical movements: phones, GPS, and facial detection by neural nets running on video camera footage. 3. Speech: moderated on social media through shadowbans, blacklisting, and cancellation. This was a blip. The tide is turning. 1. Transact privately again through services like @Zcash and @theprivacycash. 2. Anti-surveillance operating systems like Erik Prince’s Unplugged allow you to exist in private. 3. Sora has now rendered video footage unreliable. 4. On Elon’s Twitter and Durov's Telegram, you may speak your mind once more. Privacy will enable far greater economic and political freedom. But it will also be the nail in the coffin of the 20th century’s power structures.
