      How am I being punished by not using Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or any of those other things that I don’t use?

        Governments post vital information there, they try to turn it into payment services you might depend on, personally I’ve lost contact with friends who are only answering on platforms I don’t use. The entire business idea is to make it so that those who are not using the platforms are missing out.
