Can't wait to tell my (future, 10-15 years from now or so) kids stories about the Internet from when I was a kid and have them ask, "daddy, is it really true that you could post on the internet without giving a blood sample, retinal scan, and fingerprints to your ISP and didn't have to tie your real name and address to all of your comments?".
- dillondoyle 9y agoLol. I refuse to use the face scanner on my new iPhone for similar ideological reasons. But we also already do this across platforms: TW verified, banks/Coinbase verification using IDs etc.
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoThere's a difference between having some platforms requiring personal information and having Internet access predicated on everyone knowing your identity. For example, I want my bank to know my email address, phone number, and physical address because I want to receive fraud notifications, to make telephone banking transactions, and to receive paper statements. I do not want forums that I shitpost on to have any of that information, nor do I want it to be written into law that any service I access over the Internet is required to ask for and log that information.
