THey're moving to remove all air-gap, you'll need these things to be able to work and trade

You don't need social media to work

There's nothing to stop you creating a dull as dishwater real name account too

There'll come a time in the not too distant future where they won't employ you if you don't have a social media account, and when all of your internet traffic will be tied to it

It is very easy to do @Eccles

You can also just remove your social media.

That's why I do have a real name Facebook account. It has a single message to a utility company.

If anyone asks it's what they get

It's becoming essential to maintain the disconnect, hard if you're a public figure though...

You don't want a disconnect if you're a public figure

That degrades your influence

It's increadibly easy to keep the disonnect @system11

It'll become a two tier society - those connected to the panopticon, and ghosts who are not

Not really

Also if your life revolves around social media, it's not much of a life.

Tell that to the chinese

Social media isn't mandatory there.

Don't like it, don't use it.

Nope, but their rights are constrained by their actions

As are ours.

As is everyones.

And honestly employers are mostly concerned that you aren't making them look bad, it's why they ask

I know our HR Dept goes fishing based on real name, they don't request sccounts

I'm just pointing out the direction of travel. Don't shoot the messenger!

If your lose your job based on Facebook posts, you don't deserve it.

That's why it's important to have a dull actual name account for them to find

It's always been like that @Eccles

Of course it's not always been like that

"but their rights are constrained by their actions"

Don't kill people.

You won't go to prison

You go to prison for calling a politician a nazi these days

No you don't

I'm in the office right now, using a personal phone not my work one, and using 4g instead of office wireless

Yes you do

Someone did

Lets see.

I don't blame you @system11

Ideally, throw a VPN on as well

So your service provider doesn't know what you're doing

Unlicensed VPNs will become illegal within 10 years
