All the more reason to not have them. Though email addresses? Are they demanding all pen-names too?

- _red 7y agoYou can bet the big-tech companies are the ones suggesting what a great idea this is to government officials (ie. Regulatory Capture). It wouldn't surprise me that if in 10 years we all will need to have a minimal social presence to do routine things like travel.
- jaabe 7y agoI think it’s a lot easier to be anonymous if you keep them, but never use them for anything real. I quit using Facebook two years ago, but I didn’t stop posting the occasional picture of some event I attended. I simply uninstalled all their apps and deleted anything that I had ever posted which wasn’t completely irrelevant. I also deleted almost every picture of myself and prohibited people from ever tagging me. This way I look like a normal boring guy who likes board games if you glance over my profile, but you couldn’t actually get anything to use against me. It’s very Orwellian I guess, but it means I never have to explain why I’m not on social media.

- addicted 7y agoMy fear is the day when the absence of a social media presence itself makes you a suspicious character in the government, and AI’s eyes.
