But in return for that, the services that choose to employ this will get a soft guarantee that the person signing up is unique/real. Its a way to get real-name/real-id with some amount of privacy.
- saltminer 7y agoApple IDs cannot guarantee a real or unique user - users can have multiple accounts (some users will create a second account by mistake, others have a separate work account, etc), users can share accounts (especially ones tied to generic email addresses), and there are people selling app store reviews, so some bad actors definitely have a lot of accounts.
- la_barba 7y agoThanks for your comment. I used the word soft guarantee, which is meant to encapsulate those caveats. Maybe I should have used a better term since I guess people were confused as to what it meant.
