HCPP22: Last Shot

They took a shot at privacy, building surveillance systems.

They took a shot at encryption, saying surveillance cannot work if we don’t give them keys.

They took a shot at anonymity, with face recognition, profiling, social credit scores.

We were hiding in a masked crowd.

They took a shot at financial communication, counterfeiting units of money and taking the wealth of the society for themselves.

They enlisted their friendly corporations to supply them with the bullets of control and oppression.

Who will fire the last shot?

And will we then – finally – disappear? Get your ticket NOW!
