- Cthulhu_ 5mo agoAlready a thing for a lot of services (like financial), but still. There's better ways that don't involve sending your ID or facial scans to a first or third party.
- pjc50 5mo agoYeah, I set up a trading212 account lately and they wanted ID scan + live video. I mind that a bit less for finance: identity theft is real, and there are significant disadvantages to me if someone can set up a bank account in my name without getting ID checked. I'm not doing it for bloody discord or bsky DMs.

- delfinom 5mo agoPoliticians worldwide are salivating at the chance of throwing their opposition and critics in prison.
- kjkjadksj 5mo agoAs if that took the internet to do
- seydor 5mo agoI assume that everyone's ID is identifiable by willing state actors (at least adults) . Perhaps they want to create databases of possible child terrorists?
