Когда был разгар пандемии, я проходил игру Death Stranding. По сюжету там из-за глобальной катастрофы все люди сидели по бункерам, а на улицу выходили только курьеры, доставляющие еду и важные вещи. То есть то, что происходило и в реальной жизни в тот момент.
Сейчас я прохожу Horizon Forbidden West. По сюжету один очень амбициозный лидер переоценил свои возможности, из-за чего привел общество в состояние технологического упадка. И прохожу я эту игру как раз в состоянии начинающегося технологического упадка — на плойке уже отключен магазин и сетевые функции.
Во что бы мне поиграть дальше? Может быть, Resident Evil? :)

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
