<p>Corporations do that also by keep hiring lobbyists to get congress to sell out, to keep the problem in place.<p>Like TurboTax & H&R Block not wanting the IRS to automate personal taxes. ...and their lobbyists got congress to pass a law to block the IRS.</p>

<p>What you are effectively saying is "people in Meta will decide to be on one political side or the other. They will pick one political side to lose.  They will sort/rank to be effectively censored (not scene in common usage). Pretend that can't be escaped".  It can be escaped. Having the power to censor one political side is just too addicting for meta to use the self-control to not abuse that power.  That is what is happening.</p>

<p>Their big concern is NOT data stealing. That is a small thing.<p>They are very worried about the US citizen population saying they are DONE with Lobbyists and congress selling out. US Citizens are done with the GDP being stolen via rigged industries (pharma, 2008 crisis, Medical, taxes, etc.)  US Citizens starting to all agree together on TikTok, enables citizens to galvanize into a united front.<p>The US Gov needs to control US citizens, by banning them. This is why US intel services have removed 100% of US citizens in militia community groups people from Facebook. 100% have their facebook accounts have been shut down. They can't shoot people over facebook. The gov's risk is that people see many other citizens galvanize that they find congress w/lobbyists effectively stealing GDP.</p>

<p>100%. Elites are allowed to do "money laundering" while commoners are put in jail for it.<p>FinCen exists to put commoners in jail, for the same things the Elites can do without going to jail. The Elites use Shell Companies to do the same tactics.<p>The following have FinCen put commoners in jail, but elites move money the same way via Shell companies and stay out of jail:
1) Breaking up transactions, to hide total amount. Commoners=Jail vs Elites=Shell Companies.<p>2) Fee assets when law enforcement comes = "Obstruction of Justice". Commoners=Jail w/FinCen. Elites=no jail via Shell companies articles of incorporation<p>3) Keeping identity secret. Commoners=Jail w/FinCen. Shell Companies= No Jail<p>4) ...list every way commoners go to jail via FinCan and cross boarder. Elites do full list via Shell companies and don't go to jail.</p>

<p>REVOLUTION is the very real possibility if/when "negative interest rates" or "stealing citizens money" starts.<p>Citizens had all trust DESTROYED by the economic elites in 2008.  A massive number of Wall Street and finance companies showed how corrupt and how much damage they cause real citizens.  Trust is GONE.<p>Citizens will view that their money is being stolen.  All of this is about draining more money from workers and transferring it to companies and the wealthiest 1%.  Slavery is when the powerful financially steal workers earned money, against their permission, in an unjust way.  In a way that is a system of theft is from poor workers over to the wealthy.<p>That leads to revolt. Every time "negative interest" goes through your brain, force yourself to replace it with "stealing that causes revolt". It gives you a chance to wake up to see how workers will view it.</p>

<p>Gold was a collectors item also, and that was the fuel behind it being a currency for a thousand years.<p>Here is where switching from silver to meaningless metal in Roman currency was one of the big reasons for Rome's collapse. A currency backed up by something with "money printing disabled" is key to a currency not turning devalued over time.<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/money.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/currency-and-fall-of-roman-empire.jpg?w=1360" rel="nofollow">http://i1.wp.com/money.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploa...</a></p>

<p>Note that citizens can now pick individually and separately if they want to be Keynesian (USD) or Austrian (BTC/ETH/Gold).<p>1. This is illustrated by a 50 year old who paid off their $500k house. They sell, keep the cash for 23 months until they move across the country to buy a new house.<p>2. They could store their $500k in USD w/money printing and be a Keynesian. Money printing dilutes and they can buy less.<p>3. Another similar couple stores their $500k in BTC or cryptGOLD, as a non-money printing Austrian.<p>Imagine if each person in society is picking individually if they want to be an Austrian or Keynesian based on the currency they select. Costs of USD money printing will be paid by a smaller and smaller group of people as more and more move off of USD.</p>

<p>ISP market is rigged. Free market competition would make citizens never interested in this, unless it was rigged. If Google w/Google Fiber can't enter markets, then nobody can. Customers are locked into contracts for no good reason, except breaking competition. Good prices only go to first time customers, in order to rent seek and rig prices as customers stay.</p>
