Hmmm, those are probably the real reasons behind all of that, it is just the bullet-proof way to de-anonymize the internet users, and building a database that can be purchased later for billions by other entities, ones that likes to “end the captchas” aka web environment integrity [1], or the ones who buy it to force serving ads regardless of any ad blockers and having a fully detailed profile about you, or the ones who integrate that identity to their fingerprinting services, or the ones who will use to “fight misinformation” aka opinions doesn’t align with our narrative, or the ones who will integrate it to social media signup process or votes [2], or the ones will add it to their electric cars, and the list goes on I could write a book how’s that a horrible bad evil idea. It’s all power and control game, The article tries to list ways to protect and prevent such cases, but we all know it won’t be applied as the motivation is against that, luring people for the $20 is just the bait, literally a bait.
