- scarface_74 3y agoYou didn’t answer the question. It’s one thing for the government to have your ID and tied to a physical activity. Do you want Facebook to have a copy of your ID? Do you want the government to be able to ask Facebook who said something that offended them for your real ID? There have been cases where the cops arrested someone for criticizing them on Facebook https://theconversation.com/mocking-the-police-got-an-ohio-man-arrested-and-the-supreme-court-ignored-the-onions-plea-to-define-the-limits-of-parody-200480 https://theconversation.com/mocking-the-police-got-an-ohio-m...

- ndriscoll 3y agoThe law appears to require Facebook offer "anonymous age verification" through a third party (so ID is not shared with Facebook), and requires that third party must not retain or share PII used for verification. For reference: https://flsenate.gov/session/bill/2024/3/billtext/er/pdf https://flsenate.gov/session/bill/2024/3/billtext/er/pdf The Texas porn law similarly required no records be retained, with pretty steep penalties ($10k per record) for noncompliance.
