Soon Reddit users need to prove that they are human using ID verification. Your site is already garbage and I am not giving you any ID.

Mastdon and Fedi seems to doing fine without any ID.
hear me out: i starting to feel like all this OS, social media age/ID & KYC verification push because people are speaking out against world governments & the wealthy brats
They want to create fear. if you talk against them they can send the police or their supporters to your home because they know exactly who you are. This has nothing to do with kids. If it did, many AI apps would have been shut down a long time ago when they started 'undressing' women and deepfakes. Yet those apps are online
there is some truth to the issues with bots or AI based spam, but then again, companies are firing competent software devs/IT staff & still expecting everything to work perfectly
the solution to these AI bots is regulation. they've 3/4 companies that all these bottom feeders use for spamming via API. It isn't that hard to fix the problem but governments are too busy with throwing dirt at each other these days & for profit social media want to tag everyone with ID so they can market you better
@nixCraft
I have been involved in a very few real crises.
The first thing that management did was reach down through levels to get to the cognizant engineer and bring that person into a corner office.
They want the straight shit...they want it now....
They want "how"..."why"...and "who"...
They don't want "I think".
Sometimes crises happen even after substantially controlled development and testing.
When the crisis or issue comes, having been through that process enables you to know the nature of the problem and what can / needs to be done to address it.
So...
Who do you call?
How do you know even where to start?
But no matter what, those bastards do their things.
They don't even try to fake it with GenAI, deepfake, no, just pure blatant lies with two prominent fingers at your face.
This is a strange way to go fascism, they still, somehow, ask for permission (laws) or justification.
Should we see the good side and telling ourselves that we might still be able to change something?
@nixCraft Fraud is rampant, there is the KYC camp which are typically businesses that have some reason to need to verify you are not exfiltrating their systems, and then there is the tinfoil hat security crowd (mostly us) that sees boogiemen everywhere (and are often right, often wrong.
These two are seemingly at odds, but in reality what it suggests is that there are distinct identity domains that we need to solve for - public and private, and we haven't.
We need zkp public identity yesterday
@hundredlottrader @nixCraft fraud isn’t my problem. I don’t really care if the business loses money due to it.
There are other options.
@nixCraft not sure this is a hot take, frankly
Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't paying attention
