I don't like to make predictions, but just wanted to get this on the record.
Statistics and studies done through the government or private entities will be unattainable in this coming new world. I'm talking mainly about government studies. As we know that private studies are already behind a paywall if you look at Jew Swartz vs US.
It will start with government agencies outsourcing statistic collection to "private entities". Be it health, hospitalization, voting records, prison, policing, immigration, inflation or deflation, food safety, water safety, climate or what have you. If copyrighting this material and putting it behind paywall doesn't work. Classification or down right discontinuation of the statistics will occur.
The government could say "it's to not give ammo to conspiracies or disinformation" or just hide behind the classic National Security schtick. When we passed that huge stimulus and gave Pakistan money for gender studies. It was all a ploy, which I even called out in that thread. Also passed in that bill were new copyright laws, much more strict than we have now. It also implemented a uniform standard globally, especially when it comes to US copyrighted material. The idea was this is about movies, music and video games. Although the truth is much harder to swallow, and has nothing to do with entertainment.
Believe me, don't believe me I couldn't care less. This will come to pass. If one looks truthfully
, it has already started and will not stop. In fact with covid, many health departments outsourced monitoring of their hospitalization statistics to private entities.
"Why would they do this?" you may ask. Simply so the citizenry can't see how governmental policies perform. It will further put a wedge between people, where someone can't rely on statistics or truths. Instead people will have to rely on rhetoric and their political party.
