Is it a fake?

 

[Ermintruder]

Yes, it's fake

Is it a fake?

I'd say fake as you'd be arrested pretty quickly if you were acting on it.

edit: it gets sillier the longer you watch it.

 

[Mythopoeika]

One day it might not be fake.

 

[Ermintruder]

Indeed. As satire, it is frighteningly-close to a probable version of future reality. Except the real-world version won't be as explicit.

I like Aldous but humans tend to reject things in the end. The perfect system is repackaging the same product so people don't get bored. You'll sell it to kids, (teenagers), first and then the mainstream get onboard, you sell millions, then the kids get bored and jump onto another platform.

Rinse and repeat.

The bit about trying to cover your tracks with a VPN rang true.
I had heard that the authorities regard use of VPN as an attempt to disguise criminal activity.

Indeed. And they completely ignore the fact that companies everywhere are using them for perfectly legitimate purposes. Same with encryption.

Surely, got to be the most precise explanation of FaceTwitGram.

A growing number of countries (none yet in Europe) have banned VPNs for personal use, but still use them at governmental and corporate level. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the government maintains a database of individuals using VPNs and keeps an eye on their activities.

I thought this was already going on for years now via the NSA...... they listen to all dialogue traffic and weed out anything suspicious.
