     @sun i've seen one or two weird takes but they seem mostly correctly intentioned if utterly ineffective
     
     what did they do this time

     @icedquinn you'd probably disagree with me on this issue but they're whinging about a bill that says you can't e2ee minor communication on social media

     @icedquinn they are phrasing it like the demand is crazy and impossible instead of possibly just bad.

     @whiteline just phrasing their complaint in a way to make it look like something asked is impossible when it's clearly not

     @sun literally don't need to know anything other than they invoked "for the children" for something, which is hitler 101.

     @icedquinn your reflexive rejection is nonsensical too because things that are related to children can certainly invoke children.

     @sun you don't even have a child and you're already willing to sell everyone down the river to hitlerian incrementalism.

     @sun @whiteline It is impossible because it would require age verification which then causes privacy problems for adults

     @feld @whiteline age verification is coming, it is unstoppable because the lack of age verification online has always been arbitrary and nonsensical

     @feld @whiteline it's crazy the contortions that we all have to go through because we don't have a working identity system for the internet. like banks having to deposit pennies in your bank account and have you read it back to verify you own it. am I the only one that thinks that's crazy?

     @sun @whiteline well, that's more about verifying account ownership so they don't deposit to the wrong one. It doesn't necessarily imply KYC.
     
     KYC is bad, I think we both agree with that.
     
     Do we want KYC-for-social-media? I don't know.
     
     Perhaps what I think would be acceptable is "if you're a corporation running a for-profit social media platform, you must KYC so you can do age verification etc etc"
     
     But if it's an open source / self-hosted social media or chat platform there should be no requirement for KYC

     we don't need a working identity system for "the internet", we need a digital ID that can be used to interact with governments and banks and so on
     
     in sweden we've already solved this problem entirely, it's just everyone else lagging behind...

     yeah but it's not tied to "the internet", but you can use it over the internet to identify yourself to government servers
     
     but having to actually have an ID for internet usage tied to your connection or device seems like a really bad idea

     @mangeurdenuage @sun if i know the eff they probably had the same argument i did where this is just a mask the legislature is wearing.
     
     its performative at best and incrementalism at worst, it won't help any children. but it will make it easier to continue eroding rights.
     
     spying on children harder is moot because there are no meaningful interventions available.
