My pet ducks have an Instagram. Leading up to the election, I made campaign signs for them as a joke. They ran a good campaign. Worms for all! Fish at bedtime! Everyone gets their own cage! Instead, Donald Trump was elected President. Maybe the new privacy policies would have happened either way.
It meant two things: 1. I would have have to prove my identity, and then use a 2-factor authentication service like Google Authenticator each time I logged in to Facebook.
Way back during my first year in South Korea ah -my younger days I used to hang out at the Military Intelligence bar in Anjeong-ri outside of Camp Humphreys. If you said or wrote any of those key words, a human would review your content and then the FBI or some other serious men in suits would visit you. I guess we are now through the looking glass and into the part of the story where things get surreal. I have pet ducks who are semi-famous on Instagram.
I work for the government. So does my husband. We vote. We pay taxes. Small acts of rebellion, you know? I just wanted to use my freedom of speech to waste the time of the people assigned to spy on us. The Whitest Kids You Know did this, too.
Maybe the corporations and the government are coordinating. Maybe their interests simply align because campaign contributions are all politicians care about and money is speech now. I have no doubt that are doing these things, but let them do it illegally if they insist on doing it.
