The Dark Side of Data: How Blockchain Could Enable Digital Tyranny
As the world becomes increasingly reliant on digital platforms and blockchain technology, it’s crucial to acknowledge the sinister implications of these innovations. In a recent article by Nicholas Say, he warns us that China’s use of blockchain in data collection is a grave concern for our freedom. I completely agree with his assessment.
TikTok was designed to collect user data and manipulate its users into an addictive cycle. Temu, another CCP-based social media platform, follows a similar design principle. This is not just about a free speech travesty; it’s about the erosion of privacy and individual rights.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a history of fabricating lies to justify their actions. Their GDP figures are exaggerated, and they’ve been accused of genocide against the Uyghur people. It’s essential for us to recognize that CCP propaganda is beyond our ability to reason with.
In this context, it’s alarming to learn that blockchain technology will be used to store user data at a state level in China. This means that every action, transaction, and communication will be recorded and monitored by the government.
The West has a chance to resist this digital tyranny, but we need to wake up to the reality of these technologies’ potential consequences. We must fight against the manipulation of blockchain for surveillance purposes.
