> what does "trust" even mean if you are forced to trust?

You can't be forced to trust anything. You can be forced to use things you don't trust, though.




Interesting distinction.

How they get you is by "deeming".

Deem is such a very interesting word. To unilaterally suppose, consider or judge something to be. Appears a lot in arrogant, forceful and abusive legalese.

"You are deemed to have accepted..." and so on.

In the "forced trust" society people will be "deemed to trust". Of course asymmetrically, for them (the abusers) it will be seen as a "zero trust" system. For "security" (not yours).
