means testing, government abuses
"Means testing is just a pretext for oppressive systems", chapter 4928309:
The Dutch government organization managing welfare was secretly using tracking mechanisms (cookies, IP addresses, etc.) on their websites - which welfare recipients were required to regularly interact with to "prove that they were looking for work" and such - to algorithmically accuse welfare receivers of fraud if the algorithm believed that they were traveling outside of the country. This led to fines and withholdings.

re: means testing, government abuses
@max Vooral ook een reden waarom means testing in z'n geheel afgeschaft zou moeten worden (zie eerder: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/110680694792111639)

@joepie91 precies waarom "ik heb niets te verbieden" een kul-argument is.
