Pre/Post Pandemic education systems are going through longer and darker tunnels with no signs of any light at the end of unknown. Education system were failing its children long before pandemic forcing them out of their classrooms, for more bucks. Only about half of our ten-year-olds can read and understand a simple story. Last time children participated in internationally comparable tests, they ranked almost last out of 74 countries, inward-focused & national-interests are fine only if you’ve gained real knowledge and ready to explore and question everything remaining Geo-neutral.

Parents have right and responsibility to protect vulnerable kids from illegal hyper profiteers cum masked advert hunks posed as virtually enlightening guardians cum smart techies, just as celebs have right to sell raw parts, beauty, love, anger, politics, rape, comedy, apps, porn, etc.. We need to question the buyers, moderators, media channels and political technocrats who’re desperately advertising violence, mobile addiction, nudity, religious extremism, erotica as art / culture / entertainment on public platforms.

Last thing you need is traffickers, pimps, child pornographers, spying apps, exotic strippers, corrupt lobbyists and glorified prostitutes teaching sex and tech nuances in schools or even to adults chanting development, progress and modernity. Undressing a porn-star on MG Road for eyeballs is art of human development OR merely exposing common adult biological stuff and tagging junks as mainstream cool? The real artists should stand-up and revolt before community leaders, radicals, extremists or commoners.

Some liberal junkies may not mind its future generations with full dating mating freedom of wild jungle as sign of social growth, why should all (especially the young commoners) be bombarded with such crude artistic texts or tantalizing visual ideas for bucks, made by mediocre ad hunks to hallucinate teens and kids. Internet Videos, Mobile Apps, OTT, Cinema and TV are making a substantial contribution to the creation of unkind, volatile ethos.

Do the advertiser cronies have permission of parents for such widespread brainwash? Or these technocratic mercenaries are bulldozing to become illegal digital guardians of all Gen XYZ mobile APPified outputs, with state sponsored, Nazi-nationalism, conformity and uniformity terror dopes? Youngsters hopes and aspirations for the future, attitudes to relationships – familial, parental, cultural, romantic, sexual, etc, are all inextricably linked with what they see, hear and learn from TV OTT, Mobile Apps or Internet brands.

An international survey on children and media violence by UNESCO underlined TV, Mobile Apps and cinema’s dominant role in the lives of young people around the world and its impact on the development of aggressive behavior, paving not so celeb-ways of strong debates. Did kamasutra or love and sex gods taught us to pose / tease on public streets / platforms or just for discreet pleasure indoors?

Coming to these revolutionary body art showcases, how will masses safely reproduce without such sunny कपिध्वजः saviors showing right erotic ways and kamajayi mudras in public? Should all such hellish human desires and dreams be forcefully fulfilled by hook or crook? In reality, sex is just a mundane activity like breathing for most humans, population not sky-rocketing to 9 billion+ with aliens or invincible super humans mating on earth?

With reinvention of mass media by desperate cronies through TV, cinema, mobile, Internet and Online games / apps, children and teenagers are exposed to increasingly higher doses of aggressive imagery and other fear-mongering content including raw sex adverts, political bigotry, cultural twists, religious blasphemy, quick money lures… In many countries, there is an average of 5 to 10 aggressive acts per hour of TV (Cable, Digital, Internet, Zooms, OTT, Live Streams, Netflix, Amazon, Games, HotJio,..).

Violence among youth is also on the rise, making it plausible to correlate the two, though primary causes for aggressive behavior in children are to be found in family environment, and the social and economic conditions in which they are raised. Violence has always been an ingredient of children’s adventure and suspense movies and stories, what is critical is the dominance and extreme it has reached with now state sponsored brainwash programs via mobile apps..

When you consider the massive amount of data that are already sucked and waiting to be collected from the widespread Internet of Things, facial recognition cameras, Smart City sensors, self-driving vehicles, etc., they all lack one element: real-time connectivity. 5G solves this!

Tech leaders lust for 5G, AI and Internet is so strong that they are perfectly willing to ignore all human concerns (especially related to children), protests and health concerns. Now we understand how and why they are living out the old nautical phrase, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Risks don’t matter. Danger doesn’t matter. Collateral damage doesn’t matter.

Citizens can nullify the rollout and implementation of tech diktats, to scuttle technocracy’s ability to establish Scientific Dictatorships (विकसित गुलामी). Truly, parents should be mounting counter-attacks to protect future kids.. So is the critical role of digital media, regulators and politically addicted parents in protecting themselves and vulnerable people from digital slavery.

We are digital beings who live in data repositories and travel along the conduits of data communication. Conduits and repositories are owned by others but the claim that our personal data, devices and electronic interactions are owned by others is tantamount to accepting that we, as digital beings, can be owned by others, albeit in some form of distributed cooperative or brainwashed bot.

With ownership comes the right to use, repair, tweak, develop, trade and dispose. Existing legislation such as data protection is concerned with the legitimate use of data items. It does not consider data items to be the organs of a digital being and so is not concerned with the welfare of digital beings protecting them against servitude and slavery.

Physic app outlets are just one stack of capitalism’s toolkit. Govt, Big Tech, Unicorns and their allies have uniquely supreme AI strategies cum whitewashed bribery programs to promote many variants of विकसित गुलामी and passive slavery. Why bother about a tiny app “sailor saathi” of govt, when we are already cruising on bugged mother ships like Android, iOS, Windows, Tweaked Linux, etc..?

Google has recently announced that it will require all app developers to register with Google and pay a fee to such Silicon Valley tech giants – or else their apps will not run on Android phones. While this doesn’t seem too important for end users, the diktat is actually huge, and it could destroy remaining Mobile freedom making it impossible for you to install independent apps on Android. F-Droid has recently put out a statement how this move by Google has the potential to destroy independent app stores like theirs completely – which we must not allow!
