@vonKordke @aral @lain a “dox yourself” requirement is never a good thing, fuck off

@hsza @lain @aral
Why are you aggressive? If the scanning is offline (proven by audits), and the app provides just the signal of you being an adult, nothing more, I see no reason not to use it. That's the only way this can be implemented while maintaining privacy.

[mjdxp@labyrinth.zone]

@aral @lain every single online service i can think of has said that your identification materials ever leave your device, then was later exposed for just completely lying about it because it turns out you can just lie about that and face zero consequences. this one's almost certainly no different.

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral This should not be implemented at all

there’s no excuse for fascist age discrimination tooling that denies anonymity to every user. “privacy” my ass, the core premise is unacceptable

[yassie_j@labyrinth.zone]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al privacy concerns aside, there is no way that anyone is going to sincerely say "follow me on W"

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

@hsza @lain @aral
You can still be anonymous with that solution, why do you find it hard to grasp? It's really simple. It just has to be verified by the people.
Social media is bad for kids and something must be done.

[amy@sk.girlthi.ng]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @lain@lain.com also loving the "you can use your full real name or just appear as 'a person'" aspect, very awesome stuff

also love calling your shit decentralised because it uses atproto. good job everyone

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral i will not install some stupid phone spyware and give it an ID to use some grifters’ social media site

this ignorance on your part is just pathetic, like get yourself a grip, the fascists doing this do not have your best interests in mind

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral lmao “social media is bad for kids”

sorry you are a fucking part of the problem and you know it

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@EregLoch @aral @lain@lain.com if the verification is entirely on-device then it is likely trivial to spoof with some work in ghidra.

rule 1 of computer security: the client is untrustworthy

@hsza @lain @aral

When it's confirmed it's not Spyware, it's not Spyware.
Clearly social media is bad also for some adults.

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

@hsza @lain @aral it is confirmed by many scientific studies. You cannot deny it. It's a fact.

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral you are naive and oblivious. if social media is bad for some adults, you’re one of those.

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral lol you can’t “it’s a fact” your fascist delusion into being true

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

@hsza @lain @aral

You need to grow up

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral you know who this response paints you as? A geniune Nazi

Only fascists whine “oh you call everyone a fascist” when called out as what they are

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@EregLoch @aral this is of course assuming they arent just lying and doing the verification remotely anyway

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

Do you care what monkeys screams when you go near their cage in the zoo? Me neither
