    then I won’t be pressing play…I’ll abandon the internet before I’m fucked to give random corporations more information about me.

    This has been in the works for a long time and will eventually see the mygov id system forced on all users.

    Similar but even more pervasive than South Korea’s system.

      i’m actually okay with something like this, assuming it doesn’t give useful identity information but instead gives unique tokens to services (that can’t be used for tracking an individual - which is the real problem with these age laws)

      i think a system like this should be in place for pretty much all identity verification: banks, real estate, etc… where they can verify identity without the need for an identity document (scans of which can be mishandled, give more information than necessary etc). really, it kinda has to be government-led because they’re the arbiters of official identity to start with, and i wouldn’t want to have to have all my identity proofs in 4 different company systems

      ephemeral digital tokens is more secure, more private, and simpler for everyone involved
