Expires in 3024? Nice.
I remember a few years back facebook had me ‘verify’ my account by sending them a copy of my ID. I sent them a stock image of a random dude flipping the bird and my ‘ID’ got accepted.
Instagram tried that with me a few years ago too and I just made a new account lol
For a shady steam keys reselling site, I once sent a picture of my id with literally everything blacked out but my name (they had that from my credit card), and it got accepted too
If you transfer me Bitcoin I will send back triple

Complain to your local government. Yes, many websites are guilty of surveillance capitalism themselves and are lobbying for it, but the recent push was largely in response to new surveillance laws passed by governments under various guises, such as protecting the youth.
My government are pushing for this stuff though.
Which is why I am here now instead of on reddit where I got fed up of being asked to submit for facial and ID scans. Fuck that! I have seen some of my comments online, there is no way I want my ID permanently attached to that.
welcome! great choice!
I originally planned to just join the boycott for only a month, like 2 years ago because of the third party apps thing
but I ended up never going back because lemmy is so much more chill, interesting and fun to me
Yes, I assumed so. Welcome to Lemmy! I meant: Complain to your government about it! Only when they are pressured by enough citizens is they’re a chance that they may reconsider.
If they associate my online identity with my real one, i am so cooked, i said certain stuff…
Yep. Tbh even pretty normal stuff like complaining about work. You probably wouldn’t under your real name though.
Sure, I can give you a government ID
it won’t be real or it won’t be mine
good luck verifying it with the South African department of home affairs
it takes months to get an actual government ID issued
if I have to wait that long,
I’m using a different website

@not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone how do I make that cool word art

I found out that when confronted with ID surveillance I don’t really want to visit that site after all.
Companies keep pushing security onto the user at the same time as demanding more personal data.
They can suck my…
they have data breaches all the time, if they don’t outright sell it, even to ICE. It’s insane if them to try and frame this as secure
Why can’t I upvote this more than once?!
Duh, because you need a govt id to upvote it twice.
Oh, got it. Yeah, I want to do that. But… uh… where do I upload it, I don’t see it?
I wanted to start using Monero. But found I have no way of buying it in my country without giving gov ID to the exchange.
Some Know Your Customer legalities. Fucking sucks.
The only other way is sketchy P2P trade sites where you have to trust the person at the other end.
DM me dude I can send you
But have you considered purchasing this bauble online
Strava wants my birthdate now … like wtf …
My favorite is 1941-12-07. Bots can’t tell it’s fake, but American humans will know it probably is.
