I mean realistically it’s going to be a private paid for service so only the CEOs and people of that like will get the contact. It’s not just gonna be open for everyone.
That's hilarious. How rich do you have to be to be on the list? Can you imagine rich New Yorkers flexing on each other because they got on the list "I'm so rich and powerful everyone wants to kill me. How about you?"
Or better yet, your stock tanks a little and you fall just under the cut off point. "sorry your net worth isn't 10 million eddies today better luck next time choom"
Thats full blown Cyberpunk TT dystopia, "Your claim is denied as your company no longer meets our service criteria. We wish you a swift death and/or recovery"
Nope, real. Couldn't find one discussing the safety features on a quick search, but I know I've read it before. Below is an article about shutting cars off remotely when the bills are late.
I mean not being able to start from standing still is fine, you didn't pay. But disabling the brakes or lights right on the highway is just insane, it could kill both the driver and also innocent people third people who have nothing to do with the unpaid bill. Coocoo :/
Article I remember didn't disable basic mandatory to be legal features, but had extra safety features that operated on a subscription model. And if you didn't pay they got shut off remotely. Still kept the required by law features.
Why built in features required a subscription is really the dystopia part.
Hm, I don't see the dystopia there tbh. I'd argue the situation is quite ideal; in this instance the law, made by the democratic government, does exactly what it's intended to do: making sure everyone always has the needed safety features.
Any company is free to sell subscriptions wether it's Spotify premium, my amazon prime, my gaming PC and rog ally via grover, or this. Imho it would be dystopian if the company ignored the law and disabled basic features illegally and told the gov to go bleep itself like they would in 2077...
