"Don't use it if you don't like it" is not a sufficient response here, because the gathering and verifying of personal data is NOT PURELY AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM.

"Don't use it if you don't like it" is not a sufficient response here, because the gathering and verifying of personal data is NOT PURELY AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM. You might post about me. Etc.
Proverbial Big Brother ALSO likes "strong identity and content verification."
- lukev 7mo ago"People should not be allowed to post publicly on the internet" is definitely a hot take.
- jrm4 7mo agoNo clue what that refers to, it's not at all what I'm saying. What I'm saying is -- we can observe that "don't post what you don't want posted" is an insufficient response to our current internet in terms of safety and publicity. I'm also putting forth the idea that the ATProto thing for social media makes us marginally less safe, due to its technical "centralization via confirmation" of the data it "broadcasts."
