@Alberto_H9 If I was giving awards, you’d win one for the most unexpected and most fun answer. Unfortunately, I cannot find it on Goodreads and Amazon, so I cannot share it on my list (https://t.co/9rHgVzhj5m). But thanks for sharing this. It’s such a treasure.

I love the new App Privacy Report in iOS 15.2. I deleted two apps thanks to it.

More of this, @Apple. https://t.co/q1OABTKELd

1/ I have 2 parallel thoughts and 1 question.

Thought 1: people are spending an increasing amount of hours online. We know it thanks to surveys like the ones done by @appannie that I often post here.

2/ At the same time, people are starting to get attached to digital artefacts (to the point of paying for them) even before there’s a real need (e.g.: you spend most of your awake time in VR/metaverse and so you start to need them).

3/ This attachment, in turn, makes people desire to spend more time online. It can become a vicious circle. The more you invest (emotionally, economically) online the harder is to let go.

4/ Thought 2: among the other things, and this is an oversimplification, the function of a government is to protect and regulate the life of its citizens. The government can do that as long as its citizens spend time in a territory that it has jurisdiction to regulate.

5/ Question: What happens if, all of a sudden, because of their attachment to digital goods, citizens start to spend all their time in online VR/metaverse platforms? The government still has jurisdiction, but it’s indirect and mediated by platform owners.
