@aral @lain still superior to anything meta controls as idiotic as as that sounds. It’s all legalized theft just like ai is.

@kittylyst @aral @lain the next place this madness goes is all the idiots allowing thier AI agents to use thier govt IDs on their behalf.

@aral @lain What could possibly go wrong

[aral@mastodon.ar.al]

@Bredroll @kittylyst @lain I’m sure some schmuck is out there doing just that as we speak.

"Sweden’s Digital ID System Hacked,Public’s Data Sold on Dark Web"—"sweeping national digital ID system has been hacked"—"public’s sensitive data already being sold"

"alarm over the risks of centralized control as governments worldwide push similar schemes"

"called BankID.BankID is the single authentication system used by millions of Swedes for banking,taxes,government services,and digital signatures."

"leaked material includes source code,passwords,and encryption keys tied to systems supporting BankID logins for the Swedish Tax Agency.BankID is not a niche tool as it serves as the backbone of Sweden’s digital infrastructure.More than 8.6 million people in a country of just over 10 million rely on it for daily life,creating what critics warn is a dangerous single point of failure."

Since I read the info on the verification process, supposedly fully on device, and user name options (real or something else) for now I tend to give it the benefit of doubt. It might even reduce malicious fake accounts.

@fluffykittycat @aral @lain i'm pretty sure there is not only a single (bad) reason to do it. Several official and private sector organizations have several monetary and power related reasons to depseudonymize the web

[aral@mastodon.ar.al]

@EregLoch @lain Excellent, the benefit of the doubt is all they need right now. Thank you for your service.

@aral @lain W as in 'Wat?'

[aral@mastodon.ar.al]

@markus @lain I think it’s short for Wank.

@aral @lain@lain.com The very thing we have to collectively fight against: identity theft and #discrimination in public spaces masquerading as “human verification” and wannabe social networks.

In designing my own #cloud services I quickly came to a simple yet powerful conclusion: if you model the infrastructure around personal freedom and digital sovereignty you don’t even need ID verification. You cryptographically own your identity, period.

@clock @aral @lain Personally I'm a big supporter of These kinds of hacks Because they delegitimize the entire system

[clock@net.miaumuh.ch]

@kittylyst @aral @lain Correct.

[lillyherself@mastodon.social]

@aral Assuming W is only for EU citizens, how else could they verify your citizenship?
(I still would not do this)

[clock@net.miaumuh.ch]

@fluffykittycat @aral @lain @fluffykittycat @aral @lain I won't say "Personally I'm a big supporter of These kinds of hacks Because they delegitimize the entire system" because we don't have free speech in the Czech regime and I am afraid they could persecute me for exercising my basic human and constitutional right to freedom of speech, claiming I publicly support crimes.

I also feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime when the situation about free speech is like this here.

go care about actual doxxing that happens on your very own cesspool instead of getting mad over a photo of an ID that might as well never really exist

[clock@net.miaumuh.ch]

@LillyHerself @aral Isn't that xenofobic nationalistic discrimination?
