Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

@Em0nM4stodon interesting read on the topic:

This is where we're heading on billionaire driven social media.

I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.

I wanted a blue badge on LinkedIn. To get it, I gave a US company my passport, my face, and my biometric data. Then I read the fine print.

@mcfly @Em0nM4stodon presumably you could submit a delete request to have them delete thebinfo at least? I mean, I'm sure its already gone, but its something, right?

@DRIVEWAY7EXILE3GLORY @Em0nM4stodon I would not do such a verification - period.

I am someone who likes to read terms & conditions and privacy policies and I would be like "hell nah".

Also I would not connect / hand over my government issued id card ever to an American company.

Ever.
