Control of digital life is getting more centralized at the exact moment the systems that hold our identities keep getting breached. In just a few days, Europe moved closer to enforceable age-gating for social media, Russia fully blocked WhatsApp while promoting a state-backed replacement, and two separate incidents showed how much leverage attackers gain when they compromise telecom and device-management infrastructure.
