Or by someone "government-like" such as Apple or Google.
- clifflocked 1y agoOAuth exists and can be used to confirm someone's identity by linking their Google account.
- nixpulvis 1y agoTo be fair, I wouldn't want my google account linked to my dating profile. Aggregating services has risks too.
- smt88 1y agoA Google account does nothing to prove identity
- kelnos 1y agoLinking a Google account doesn't confirm your identity, though. It just confirms that you created a Google account with a particular name.
- behringer 1y agowhen I worked for the government, within 2 months they had leaked all of my data to the black market. Governments should not be confirming shit.
- pixl97 1y agoThe government already has all your data so I'm not sure who you think should be confirming identity.
- behringer 1y agoand my point is that they leak it. So it's hardly useful to have them both house and confirm the data when they can't house it properly. They'll be confirming data that is publicly available.
- steeeeeve 1y agoGovernment is the worst possible solution to every problem. (not an attack on you. I have to say that every time I see someone say anything along the lines of "the government should do it")
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoGovernment is made the worst possible solution thanks to lobbying and lawyers. It doesn't have to be this way.
- nixpulvis 1y agoI would rather see an FDPA (Federal Data Protection Administration) which goes after people who get this stuff wrong.
