    I feel like I wanna walk away from the internet for my personal life.

    The second problem is just how much has moved online for example processing documents (your passport etc) same as when you have issues there’s no number to ring the store.

    So it’s not like we are totally able to. We need to turn it back to how it was. They said use the internet because it made life efficient. We need to take that back.

      This has been a long time coming, a perfect example of the frog in in the pot; well, the water is boiling now.

      I will not comply with any of this. No website or service or app or app store is getting my ID. I know I wont be the only one, and the system has removed so many manual ways of doing things that those of us who refuse will bring the system to a grinding halt. It will not be easy and life will be made more difficult for us, but it will also be for them.

      We must all resist this in every way we can.

        It’s gonna have to be that way. I saw something here the other day saying they couldn’t check a parcel delivery without an app. Someone suggested emailing daily for an update. I aspire to be that petty.

      I had to have a friend help me because a company I bought from only did customer support through Instagram.
