    I’m not sure that what this article is claiming follows. Your device providing a token which confirms you’re an adult doesn’t imply that your real name will be provided to anybody, any more than, say, my banking app using my phone’s FaceID implies that that app has access to my biometric data

    To me, age verification on-device make the most sense precisely because it allows for it to be secure and maintaining of privacy

    The alternative is providing every site with your biometric data, photos of your documents like driving license, or both. Or that there’s some random third party which you give that data to and who then stores it on some server somewhere the security of which we can only guess at

    I know sind will be tempted to say that it shouldn’t be happening at all and that it’s not about protecting kids and so on. But no matter how much we say that it _ is_ happening. This is what the new reality will be. The only question is where you want the scan of your face to be stored. Personally, I’d rather it be encrypted on my device

    Maybe we split the internet. Privacy concerned people could use something like gemini

    Ah so Bots and Ai shit needs to identify itself as well? Of course not, it’s just an excuse (save the children) to do more surveillence rather than helping anyone.

    It was never about “child safety”. It always was about making users more transparent, and therefore more intimidatable and controllable.

    Well, yeah. That was the plan from the start. Let’s not be the “dumb fucks” who just “trust him” with personal data this time.

      This, really, is what gets me about billionaires. Literally any of them could have just faded into obscurity years ago, lived a life of abject luxury and never had a single worry. Or, they could have spent like 10% of their wealth on improving things for society as a whole, and everyone would have loved them for it. But no - they all had to just focus on hoarding more and more and making things worse and worse for everyone else. It’s fucking baffling to me.

        They want ever more power and control. Money is just a tool to get that. Most billionaires are sociopaths.

    Don’t forget home routers have something called parental controls.

    This would put all the power of online safety back into a parents hands and maintain all privacy online for the general public and ones children as well.

      What are you talking about? You think this is some kind of game where we all have to be responsible for ourselves, and create solutions that serve everybody? Get real!

      This is Earth! Where the elite make all the rules, and those rules aren’t based on logic, or problem solving. They’re based on what will make the elite the most money!

      So you bet your ass when Mark Facebook Zuckerberg pitches an idea, he’s doing so to steal your data, and figure out how to create a problem that needs fixing, which can just so happen be fixed with privacy invasion! Yaaaay! Isn’t capitolism grand?

      The market has made clear how it feels about consumer freedom. Every consumer option is lost revenue to them.

      And to ensure that everyone has a router… everyone will be given a state issued router with personal identification that they must use.

        Yes. Give the Fart Master your social security number, and mothers maiden name.

        Which you would think wouldn’t be needed if he already has your SSN…but that part isn’t about privacy breaches. Instead, he’s just looking to find your mom and take her out on a date! Fart Master is going to be your new dad!

        I get it. For some reason i see this as working towards no more running 7,000 bots and influence peddling, or blatant manipulation from governments through fake accounts running “brand management” campaigns.

        Too optimistic maybe to think a company being aware of one name running a ton of accounts and doing anything for humanity because of it for the better good, but I get it.

        Plus creeps thrive in the darkness, selling CSAM and the gross shit American leaders do. Bitcoin for killing stuff on video, like it could stop. Those guys could be identified and put in a cellar never to hurt anyone again.

          Too bad almost none of that will actually be implemented and will instead be used to target those who disagree.
