Comment on: Authorize, don't authenticate
> It’s your data! You shouldn’t have to prove to anyone else that you have the right to access it.How does the service know who you are? That's the point of authentication. Once that question is settled, the service can decide what you are authorized to do. You need both.
Comment on: Age verification doesn't need to be a privacy footgun
it is designed to be a privacy footgun. this wave of age verification bullshit is their foot in the door for "login with your government-issued ID". anonymous rabble congregating on the internet, spreading malinformation and expressing illegal opinions are extremely dangerous to our democracy. the ETA is 5-20 years until another wave of "safety" laws that will require your real identity to be linked to every clearnet website you interact with.
