Yeah, if the end consequence is creating a giant database of photos of US ID’s (and storing which accounts theyre associated with as a nice bonus) then that is, in my opinion, not great.

I understand Discord is already rolling out ID verification in the UK and their solution is to use a 3rd party service (you send them your, they just send discord a "is over 18? YES/NO). Personally I don’t think thats much better but it won’t be Discord’s own liability when they find out call center employees in India or Vietnam are using the images of your ID to sell online or something.

Came in to say that. And this.

a lot of .world users say this was a conspiracy

Well. It is a conspiracy. A conspiracy theory, even! I have a very compelling theory that Boeing conspired to kill that guy.

Just because it’s a conspiracy (we allege that people conspired to do something bad) theory (we don’t have absolute, provable-before-a-judge-and-jury hard evidence) doesn’t mean that it’s false. Also daily reminder that the CIA purposefully adopted the term “conspiracy theory” to convince the public to dismiss allegations that they secretly did something bad by associating them with Bigfoot and aliens. At the same time as they were secretly drugging random members of the public with LSD and watching them freak out and fall out of windows.

I think a tumblr post popularized it… Basically it went something like “I don’t like insulting people by saying they live in a basement, so I use CHUD (Cannablistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, after the horror movie of the same name) instead”

What a worthless article. But we have a saying, the flak is heaviest when you’re over the target.
