Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter
Maybe not so many of the lemmy users but I guess, most normies will probably just give twitter/x all it requests even ID and photo
Privacy? What’s that??
“I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide!”
Me too 🙂
I assume this is the solution for celebs, public figures to confirm who they are (If they pay for premium)
Normies absolutely will and they will think you’re crazy for not wanting to.
Not so sure about that, I feel like average people are waking up to technological bullshit like this more and more every year. Yeah there’ll still be an overly high amount of idiots, but I’ve learned that even older people can change and question things like this.
You can only get so many “We’re giving you 2 free years of identity theft protection because we got hacked and your personal information got stolen.” from big companies like your cell phone company, credit check company, etc. before you’re like “Hey, anything I put online can get stolen by criminals…”
Even if you’re a tech-unsavvy type. At some point the light bulbs turns on and you put 2 and 2 together.
Some will say they care about it, but when threatened with having their social media taken away, they will cave and give the info. Others will say something like “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide”. They still use Chrome and Gmail. They don’t use an ad blocker. They still install apps that request every single permission on their phones. Protecting your privacy online is extremely difficult and most people aren’t willing to do it.
Normies can’t remember things unless they are constantly reminded of it. Most probably don’t even know when these companies get hacked unless it gets talked about on the news. They don’t see the warning emails because it gets lost with all of the spam they get because they use the same email address for everything, same password too so the email account just got hacked too.
Maybe I swallowed too many blackpills but I just don’t see any positive changes regarding this happening any time soon without some new laws being passed, which won’t happen because these companies own every government.
It’s crazy because when I was a child these same people always told me to never tell anyone online my real name, age, or location. Now they are scrolling through facebook all day and constantly telling me to make an account.
if anything i would doubt that most people can be bothered to fish up all this documentation and go through the rigamarole of submitting it, i certainly feel exhausted just thinking about it
