  > they ask you for a state-issued ID to appeal bans
Requires ID for "age verification" to ensure pedos aren't talking to children

"Move fast and break things" mentality, so IDs leak

Pedos use your leaked ID. You land on a list. Meta/Google/Discord/Persona/whoever pays you $20 and gets a slap on the wrist

IDs become useless, so Altman promotes WorldCoin and we all get our eyeballs scanned

Rinse, lather, repeat. Surveillance state grows. Terrorists continue to do terrorist stuff. Pedos continue to do pedo stuff. Normal people get random visits from gestapo because they are 110% sure you were involved in a crime despite proof that you were in a different state at the time.

We're really creating a great world...

I agree. Meta is as bad as if not worse than Google.

It is however much easier to navigate life without Meta than without Google. Even if you use different email, etc, if you collaborate with someone on a doc or whatever they are likely to send you a google link.

google is everywhere. Most websites have one or more of google fonts, google apis, googletagmanager/doubleclick, captcha or more.

One up-and-coming entrant is cloudflare, which prevents you from accessing websites unless you have javascript and cookies enabled.

all the other cdn providers do this too, like akamai, fastly, cloudflare, etc.
