@iwein@mas.to @Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange they are always predicated on some sense of exclusion or superiority and are intended to be enforced via extremely easily manipulated and corruptible means.

tldr reductive and unproductive. a waste of time

@iwein@mas.to @Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange on the surface, in a vacuum, I'm not against id verification or adjacent, but seeing as we don't live in a vacuum, I'm always forced to ask "why?" and then the subsequent "how?", neither of which have ever received a satisfactory response.

@Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange if verifying id was actually the goal (not to mention a useful or productive goal), perhaps, but it's almost always a means of tracking and controlling populations. offering concessions to that pursuit is ridiculous

@Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange there is no technical solution to governments imposing authoritarian policies.
