A selectively visible internet is actually an evolution and upgraded version of the concept of flow control. For example, let's say you are a potential heavyweight political dissident, but you haven't made a big splash yet, or you have invented a technology that can cause a huge social revolution (like the Bitcoin blockchain invented by Satoshi Nakamoto), but it hasn't been made public yet. Big Brother has already targeted you through big data analysis a long time ago, and he decides that it would be best to turn you into a friend and subdue you in a more humane way. He starts by manipulating your online social relationships, such as arranging agents to date you, get married, and have children with you. Through interpersonal (intimate) relationships, he controls you. When your wife, children, and even friends are all people of Big Brother, and there are various interests involved, would you dare to disobey? So, how can we ensure that you can only date the people designated by Big Brother? That is to upgrade the current flow control technology, allowing you to set certain people to see your posts while others cannot. On the timeline, only agents, internet trolls, and other people of Big Brother can have a two-way visibility with you. Other people either cannot see your posts, or you cannot see theirs, or neither of you can see each other. In the end, you can only miss each other, so the only interaction you have is with those people of Big Brother. You may think you have the freedom to choose, but in reality, no matter who you date, you cannot escape the clutches of Big Brother. Therefore, in a sense, your fate is controlled by Big Brother through the selectively visible internet. Isn't it terrifying?
