It's a problem when you don't verify the identity of your users and hold them responsible for illegal things. If Facebook verified you were John D SSN 123-45-6789 they could report you for uploading CSAM and otherwise permanently block you from using the site if uploading objectionable material; meaning only exposure to horrific things is only necessary once per banned user. I would expect that to be orders of magnitude less than what they deal with today.

- DaSHacka 2y agoYou can thank IRL privacy activists for the lack of cameras in every room in each house; Just imagine how much faster domestic disputes could be resolved!
- renewiltord 2y agoSure, there’s a cost-benefit to it. We think that privacy is more important than rapid resolution of domestic disputes and we think that privacy is more important than stopping child porn. That’s fine as a statement.
- IshKebab 2y agoRubbish. The reason Facebook doesn't want to demand ID for most users is that it adds friction to using their product, which means fewer users and less profit.
- stickfigure 2y agoSounds like Facebook and I have the same interest, then.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoUnsurprising lack of response to this statement. It's 100% true, and any cost-benefit calculation of privacy should account for it.
