Make storing personal data which is not essential to normal operation illegal.
It really is that simple.
- debazel 1y agoIt isn't because age verification has made storing personal information like this an "essential" operation.
- BoredPositron 1y agoYou don't need to store the information after verification.
- debazel 1y agoDiscord doesn't store ID indefinitely either, but there is a time frame, both between data submission and processing, as well as between the start of the breach and the end, during which the data can be leaked.
- subscribed 1y agoAbsolutely untrue. Make "user proved with ID they're 18+" an immutable flag of the account, and delete the toxic data you verified to prove it.
- palmfacehn 1y agoRegulation 1 mandates data collection, creating unintended consequences. Now, regulation 2 is required to counter the effects of regulation 1. Regulation 2's unintended consequences are similarly either unknown or ignored. This suggests that regulation 3 may be necessitated and that the trend may continue indefinitely. In theory infinite regulations would suggest that no one would be permitted to do anything eventually. However, before we reach that point, the cost of compliance will be so high that publishing websites will become untenable. An equilibrium of regulatory capture favoring large publishers will likely emerge before this point. Those large interests will have the resources to influence regulatory outcomes. Their incentives will include maintaining a sufficiently high barrier to entry while optimizing their own compliance costs.
