Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

That's probably a dramatic underestimate.I would have guessed more like 92%

No. Everyone won't. It's frankly a ton of work to do the tracking and another ton of work to process it and do anything about it, and there's not a lot of benefit to it to be had without revealing you're doing it - this will backfire. They are trying to normalize not having privacy, because that is kinda Meta's specialty, but I don't think it will catch on, even at Meta, in the long term. They'll lose too many good people and they'll have to take it back.

The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.
