Pretty sure you had to tie a phone number to an account for years now…
Everyone that interacts with that stuff, Elmo knows.
Imagine getting a phone call from a bot one day going over all the worst shit you’ve done on the internet and saying if you don’t do x/y/z then it’ll release your history to everyone you know.
It’s a large scale Epstein style blackmail ring on average people.
Which doesn’t sound that scary till you realize they know everything about these, where they live, who they work for, who their neighbors are, what picks up kids from the same school.
There’s no indication it’s happening yet, but does anyone think Elmo is above it? Hell, he could be DMing people saying they have to vote Republican or he releases their Twitter history.





Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they’ve just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.
Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.
Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that’s actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.
They probably just don’t even realize they’re wearing them, it’s just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
