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.

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

@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.

to any dumbass reporting this post, a simple google search would have spared you the effort of reporting what's a known meme on the polish side of internet

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

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

For some reason, when applying for beta access, they ask you for your residency (only country). You don't need that fuck that shit.

@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.
