That guy was brash, but I somewhat agree with him. This place is full of people who left reddit for a multitude of reasons. Just think about that. Reddit didn’t suffice for the vast majority of people here, and now those same people are circlejerking each other in an echo chamber the size of McDonald’s PlayPlace tube. This is why Lemmy, in my opinion, won’t last long.

That and McDonald’s PlayPlace tubes smell like socks.

Me. I say it. It’s true too.

You didn’t understand the second part of my comment. Apathy is the reason why ID uploads won’t work. People won’t do it.

The same people that are pushing for this are the ones who “wouldn’t get the jab because the 5G tracker chips in it”. The government tracking people is good when they want it, but bad when it doesn’t fit their narrative.

Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications.

This would change the internet as it currently stands. People love to be lazy and hand over their data, but if you make someone send a photo ID to sign up for Facebook, they simply won’t have Facebook. People can’t set up their own WiFi networks or TVs without help from their children, and now you are going to ask them to upload photos of their IDs? They won’t do it.
