@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

  • @etsyy@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange even suggesting it helps legitimize it. And we k.ow that they won't be using your bespoke crypto. They're uploading your ID to the pedophile Nazi vampire peter thiel, who then scans against 34 police databases (hey! We were promised this was just an age check!) And then leaves it so insecure the people who leak it Can't be called hackers because they didn't even have to hack anything to get all of it

    @etsyy@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer I was once involved in an idea around technical id verification (which I abandoned for ethical reasons). There is no technical solution to this either that isn't completely dystopian as far as I can tell. Chosing to trust people can only be done in a non-technical way, and the cost of broken trust is much lower than the cost of lacking trust. I don't have the spoons to write down the whole argument, but I hope more people can trust this to be correct 🙂 @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange
