Riley, once again you don't get it. Unified Surveillance Platform does mean state surveillance of the population on behalf of the power structure in almost every nation. But in Russia, it's about the safety and well being of the population. Don't you trust Putin and his team members? And what's wrong with 5G? In Russia, it doesn't hurt anyone, it's not like it is in the collective West. :-)

Thanks, Riley! DAMN!

This is what every zealous faceless bureaucrat must have dreamed about for 5,000 years; Limitless data providing the means for total control.

[Yes, I was one of those faceless bureaucrats during my 18 months as a reluctant conscript]

Unfortunately for the bureaucratic dreamers the efforts of reducing people to numbers never worked out in the long run.

A datapocalypse will eventually bring it all down. A relentlessly fueled arms race with ever bigger systems gathering ever more data and creating even bigger systems to break down that data.
