“In the founding principles of liberalism, freedom is not merely the absence of chains; it is the presence of an unguarded space — a space where the individual can think, speak and organise without the omniscient state and its interference. That space has historically been protected by anonymity, especially in the online sphere of discourse. Today, that foundational protection is under substantial threat, more so than before. The new tool for the state to control its subjects is not only a physical prison, but also a digital cage. In this system, mandatory identification is designed to weave into every interaction.” (03/04/26)
