"Technologies used for 'contact tracing' approved for COVID-19 tracking will be repurposed to hunt down and silence voices of dissent."

Nonsense. In case you aren't aware of it the government already has a robust system of ankle monitoring for criminals. Apps on your phone don't control you and covid contact tracing is a valuable asset to fighting the disease.

The tinfoil set has been claiming FEMA camps are coming forever. Two weeks from now all the curfews will be lifted and you won't have lost a single freedom. You give too much credit to the powers that be, they are the government, and as such are incapable of pulling off these vast conspiracies.

No protests will not be banned, and this is not the start of some totalitarian shit. A bunch of property is going to get burned down, people are going to die, and looting will be bad, but in a month it will all be business as usual.
