This is a meme video but I think it hits the nail on the head. TLDR: AI will force global online digital ID for everyone that uses the internet for the exact reason you mentioned. And that would forever change free speech forever allowing the powers that be to put the genie "back in the bottle" so to speak. link: Raiden Warned About AI Censorship - [VIDEO]

Correct, and it's to put the genii back in the bottle so to speak. Great video on how AI is being actively used to break the internet. Cause a problem, provide the solution. [VIDEO]
