Already happened in the EU, you must provide your fingerprint to get an ID

Yeah what the fuck is up with that?

You responded: "Yeah what the fuck is up with that?" when someone comment about EU doing the same thing. When EU do that, it is really normal and good and people benefit? But when China, or Viet Nam do that, they are violating human rights, being against democracy, etc...?!?!?!

Again, are you paid by CIA for saying that? If not, account for your "Yeah what the fuck is up with that?".

Kindly disconnect from tor and lets have a chat about it…

I currently don't need to be anonymous, but tor is not blocked (EVEN ADOPTED BY COCCOC, A BROWSER THAT PARTICIPATED IN GOVERNMENT'S ANTI-SCAM PROJECT) and I can turn on whenever I want.
