Gabriel Custodiet and Urban Hacker of Watchman Privacy highlight the rapid expansion of technocratic control and the erosion of digital privacy, examining global trends such as mandatory operating system verification, age-gating legislation, and the increasing requirement for biometric data to access basic online services. They argue that these developments are part of a centralized effort to eliminate user sovereignty and force compliance through integrated smartphone apps and cloud-based computing. They address the physical infrastructure of this shift, noting how the AI boom and supply chain disruptions are making private hardware unaffordable for the average consumer. This transition from ownership to a subscription-based rental model allows corporations to monitor and potentially terminate access based on “thought crimes” or political dissent. They advocate for solution-oriented strategies and announce their first ever live Escape the Technocracy Workshop with Geopolitics & Empire.
