My “group” is not what you think it is.

I have been beating on this drum to avoid this situation for far longer than it has been the topic of interest on HN for the past few months.

We are here, because difficult conversations were avoided and action which could be taken to stop this from metastizing came in the way of growth.

The “parents” win just by having the laws passed, because it makes it clear what guard rails society expects to have in place for internet use.

If you want, I could give you stories of how KYC rules are not followed in India, enabling fraud. How certain rules in the DSA are toothless, resulting in reduced compliance.

Privacy is going to lose. Correction, it is losing, because the people who think they are defending it don’t understand that the forces at play have changed.
