Isn't this basically what Parler tried to do? They got hacked and the PII of their users was leaked onto the internet and they were derided for collecting so much information.
- showerst 5y agoI suppose, although Parler came at it catering to a very specific and volatile community. "Don't get hacked and dump PII" is sort of a prerequisite for starting any online business these days, so I don't see that as a huge downside beyond the already comically difficult signup flow. Ideally, ID verification comes from someone like stripe or visa who's core business is handling that data, so the host is only storing a hash and a location.
- bduerst 5y agoYou can do third party verification without storing the physical credentials. Parler was many things, and poorly designed was one of them.
