I am SO uncomfortable with the idea of handing images of my id over.

I love the idea of a company selling my id to some ex.

We didn’t need to hand our IDs over

IDs don’t belong on computers.

They aren’t? I mean they are, but not for social media verification.

Like the government knows all my financial details for tax purposes. It knows my healthiness because we have public health care in Australia. It knows my criminal history as well as what I look like through police records. But it definitely doesn’t have my ID for social media verification purposes

Yeah, but you’ll upset the stupid 'Muricans if you tell them what’s actually happening, rather than what they want to think is happening

Exactly. I do believe that the algorithm does more damage than anything that age verification will address and it impacts all of us.

Keep your eyes peeled on horrible surveillance bills c-34 and s-209 in Canada

Nothing is a low bar, and that’s all age verification is going to address.

Age verification took away the need to regulate it so it’s safe for kids. Now it’s not safe for anyone.

Remember when people would post event flyers to facebook and everyone subscribed to the group would see it?

Now it’s like trying to withdrawal your pay from a poker machine instead of an ATM.

Unrelated to algorithms but I opened Roblox yesterday after not playing for a long while and I found that they’ll give you a ‘free item’ if you do an age check

Disgusting, coercive bullshit just so kids can give their biometric data to American companies. Funny how the eSafety Commission managed to completely forget about the privacy rights of children, let alone those of adults, just so they can rush through their age verification legislation like the world depended on it.
