Fucking shit article.

Different network state to Bilajis? Since that was always opt in afaik.

From the website from the book.

A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.

Seems like zuck trying to take the Name again like he came up with it, eg Meta.

Networks are opt in, just like meta product's.

They’re not opt-in when the government is fully captured. They’re not opt-in like every battle against corporate takeover we’ve lost over the last several decades, from net neutrality to effective monopolies to Musk wreaking havoc in the government.
