Today we’re pulling back the curtain on a massive, coordinated effort to force mandatory ID verification onto every smartphone in America. While the headlines say it’s about "keeping kids safe," the receipts tell a much darker story.
We’ve tracked the money from Meta (Facebook/Instagram) intogroups and state capitols, where Meta lobbyists are literally hand-delivering the text for new laws like the App Store Accountability Act (ASAA).
In this video, we break down:
The Lobbying Blitz: How Meta spent a record $26.3M to influence your privacy.
The Digital ID Empire: Why Meta wants Apple and Google to build a "Verification API" that tracks your every move.
The Encryption Kill-Switch: Why Instagram is quietly removing end-to-end encryption by May 2026.
The OS Threat: What this means for Linux users, open-source developers, and your right to remain anonymous.
This isn't just a tech update...it's a warning. The infrastructure for a Federal Digital ID is being built right now, and Meta is holding the hammer.
