It's the way of the world. People in charge want the most efficient way of controling its subjects.

It's the same in the business world. The major players want the most efficient way of selling products and services to its intended customers.

With the advent of social media, this can be done much quicker and with less cost.

I began seeing targeted ads on my most used browsers couple of years back.

The algorithms are getting smarter and quicker in figuring out what we look for online.

It's all about business. You don't get any genuine and useful messages or information unless it's from a family member of close friend who isn't retweeting or resending useless commercials unknowningly.

The politicians use the same platform to send us tailor-made messages and ideologies to make themselves appealing to us.

So Trump, Biden, and the countless public servants of today are all doing the same thing. Some at larger scale than others.

I think universal chipping and tagging are not that far from today.
