Because most countries don't have crypto-secure identity verification, which means Facebook would still need something like this? I suppose they could contract out to Experian (or other local providers) and ask you to answer some questions from your credit report, but I'm not sure that's really a good solution either.
- hnarn 9y agoI thought it was clear enough that I mean't that it's obvious why [Facebook will never implement it even in countries where it already exists]. It's not in their interest to do so, because it's not in their interest to protect the privacy of their users.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoJust because you could only think of a sarcastic reason why Facebook doesn't want to do it doesn't mean that other reasons for it don't exist. That's precisely what the GP is saying—FB needs to come up with systems that work for literally the whole world.
- hnarn 9y agoHow is my reason sarcastic? I'm being completely serious. And yes, of course it needs to work world-wide but I think it's naive to think that's the primary reason FB would be doing it. They'd be doing it because they want complete control of the authentication ecosystem.
