After 2016, the state and its corporate satellites moved to reassert control over the digital world they had lost. “Misinformation” became the new moral panic. Under that banner, media networks, NGOs, and intelligence agencies began coordinating with platforms to rebuild the hierarchy of information that the internet had overthrown. Tech companies were pressured to enforce safety online, which sounded like public service but functioned as narrative enforcement. It was during this period that social media algorithms, including Tweepcred, were built to counter the memetic revolution.
Measures like Digital ID are designed to chip away at our leverage over virality, creating a legal framework where users can easily be punished for their social media activity. Limiting internet access for minors will not be about protecting them from Skibidi Toilet or porn. It will be about preventing the rise of another frog generation, people who refuse to look to traditional authorities for guidance. This age segregation gives the establishment a blank slate with each generation, making knowledge harder to pass down, while algorithms subtly force us to self-censor and erase the identity of frog culture.
