Government building database to list all citizens
The US government is building a database to list all citizens.
This will be dangerous, because it won't list all citizens, only those
whom the federal government has verified.
The article says that it *could provide local and state governments a
powerful method to check the citizenship of almost all Americans
without additional documentation requirements.* But that must be
confusion. Even if the data base has a record about you, you will
still have to authenticate yourself as that person. What papers will
that require?
The "voter ID" method of voter suppression demands that voters show
up-to-date government ID. That disenfranchises many citizens who had
to move to a different address and have not had the time to update
their driver's licenses since.
Republicans adopt this method because
it tends to stop poor people, students, and old people from voting.
What will happen to people with such driver's licenses if a state
checks this citizenship data base? Will it suppress their votes?

National government system for internet accounts in China
China has set up a national government system for internet accounts,
enabling uniform ID checks on all platforms.
Every unified national system of internet accounts is a scheme
ready-made for repression. Whatever its purpose is — even if it is
only to verify a person's age — it will enable the government to
track all of everyone's internet use, on all servers that the state
chooses to impose this on. Combine that with a would-be autocrat
and it is disaster.

Campaign to repress journalism intimidating students writing for school papers
The wrecker's campaign to repress journalism is intimidating many students
who write or wrote for school newspapers. They are asking the
newspapers to delete their articles.
The USA's tree of liberty was always flawed, but now it may be
poisoned entirely. The wrecker's axe is cutting into the heart of the
trunk.
