我不知道这是否只是我的想象。近年来，我感觉整个世界正在慢慢朝着这个方向发展： “为了保护人们，我们需要监控他们。” 作为一个台湾人，我对隔壁中国大陆的这种逻辑非常熟悉。但不知何故，我感觉越来越多的世界也在朝着这个方向发展。例如： * 要求像 Linux 这样重要的开源基础设施项目添加年龄验证。 * 信用卡公司要求日本遵守各种不合理的规定。 * 以人权或安全的名义，通过法院强制企业监控云数据。 * 要求对 VPN 进行控制或监管。这些只是一些简单的例子。我没有详细的统计数据，但我确实感觉最近出现这种情况的案例越来越多。它常常披着道德正义的外衣，然后在其之下引入监控和控制。隔壁的中国大陆一直使用这种逻辑。官方声称一切都是为了保护和安全。加密受到严格限制。每当推出这些政策时，也有很多人为其辩护。许多人并没有真正感觉到自己的权利受到侵犯。直到有一天，限制不断扩大，变成了一种审查制度，几乎任何事情都可能受到惩罚。在大陆的平台上，如果你试图就某些话题进行更深入的讨论，甚至只是征求意见，很容易被封禁。现在，幸运的是，世界上仍有许多人不断抵制那些被包装成“道德必要”的各种监控。但我担心的是：如果人们慢慢习惯了呢？如果每个人都对这些事情越来越麻木，就像中国大陆的许多人一样，直到几乎什么都不能说了才意识到发生了什么呢？到那时，可能已经太晚了。顺便说一句，中国大陆的安全和身份识别系统基本上是从国家的角度构建的。所以你会看到很多情况： * 几乎所有地方都需要手机号码。 * 电子邮件使用不多。 * 主要通过 QQ 或微信进行交流。 * 密码匙不普遍。大多数身份验证基于手机号码。 * 许多服务看起来是匿名的，但实际上与你的真实身份相关联。许多“安全”机制与国家相关，包括言论和政治控制，而不是用户的个人安全或隐私。应用程序也喜欢到处投放广告。一个应用程序试图包办一切。许多应用程序不断鼓励人们借钱。即使在手机和其他硬件上，任何可以输入文本的地方都可能包含屏蔽词。有些话题基本上无法讨论。习近平就是一个明显的例子。即使是相关的词语或联想，比如“习”或维尼熊，都可能变得敏感。中国在人工智能方面也非常强大，部分原因是数据量巨大且隐私很少。有时你会看到中国的人工智能系统说话的方式，感觉非常接近真实的人的思考和说话方式。我猜测，这部分是因为大量的真实人际对话被用于训练，包括私人对话。可能还有更多我可以补充的。但重点并非真的在中国。我担心的是，有一天，即使在自己的电脑上安装 Linux 也需要实名认证。这种事情对我来说听起来很可怕。也许我多虑了，但我确实觉得这个方向变得越来越明显。我想知道这里的人们怎么看。你们有同感吗？你们认为这实际上正在成为一种更广泛的趋势吗？

I don’t know if this is just my imagination.In recent years, I feel like the whole world is slowly moving toward this direction:“Because we need to protect people, we need to monitor them.”As a Taiwanese person, I’m very familiar with this kind of logic from the CCP next door.But for some reason, I feel like more and more of the world is also moving in this direction.For example:* Asking an important open-source infrastructure project like Linux to add age verification. * Credit card companies asking Japan to follow all kinds of unreasonable rules. * Using courts to force companies, in the name of human rights or safety, to monitor cloud data. * Requiring VPNs to be controlled or regulated.These are just some simple examples. I don’t have detailed statistics, but I really feel like there have been more and more cases like this recently.It is often wrapped in something morally justified, and then surveillance and control are introduced underneath it.The CCP next door has always used this kind of logic.Officially, everything is for protection and safety. Encryption is heavily restricted. Whenever these policies are introduced, there are also many people defending them.Many people do not really feel that their own rights are being violated.Until one day, the restrictions keep expanding and become something like a censorship system where almost anything can be punished.On mainland Chinese platforms, if you try to have a deeper discussion about certain topics, or even just ask for opinions, it is very easy to get banned.Right now, fortunately, there are still many people around the world who keep pushing back against different kinds of surveillance that are packaged as “morally necessary.”But what I’m afraid of is this:What if people slowly become used to it?What if everyone becomes more and more insensitive to these things, like many people in mainland China, and only realizes what happened when almost nothing can be said anymore?At that point, it may already be too late.As a side note, the security and identity system in mainland China is basically built more from the perspective of the state.So you can see many things like:* A phone number is required almost everywhere. * Email is not used very much. * Communication is mainly through QQ or WeChat. * Passkeys are not common. Most identity verification is based on phone numbers. * Many services look anonymous, but are actually tied to your real identity.A lot of the “security” mechanisms are related to the state, including speech and political control, rather than the personal security or privacy of the user.Apps also like to put advertisements everywhere.One app tries to do everything.Many apps constantly encourage people to borrow money.Even on phones and other hardware, anything that allows you to type text may potentially contain blocked words.Some topics basically cannot be discussed.Xi Jinping is one obvious example. Even related words or associations, such as “Xi” or Winnie the Pooh, can become sensitive.China is also very strong in AI, partly because there is so much data and not much privacy.Sometimes you can see Chinese AI systems that speak in a way that feels very similar to how real people think and talk.My guess is that this is partly because a lot of real human-to-human conversations have been used for training, including private conversations.There is probably much more I could add.But the main point is not really China.What I am worried about is that one day, even installing Linux on my own computer may require real-name verification.That kind of thing sounds terrifying to me.Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I really feel like the direction is becoming more obvious.I’m curious what people here think.Do you feel the same way?Do you think this is actually becoming a broader trend?

HN 提问：我们是否正在以安全之名，将监控常态化？
