I was having computer science class and I remember seeing the news… Felt so unreal to see something like that in America. Went home, watched news for the entire day.

Then I read a lot about 9/11 the following years. I think it changed the perception about America in a lot of people.

Having government confirm age of users is the beginning of having to use a real id to use the internet. Thats the wet dream of governments and big tech, but its a total nightmare for privacy and discussing things without your real name being known.

Just watch linkedin and see how discussions are extreamly limited there, since people dont want to discuss sensitive things in front of others using their real name.
