Comment on X is working on ID verification, what’s next?
elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 year agoCan you refuse to produce ID to law enforcement in the U.S. without probable cause? Yes? Then it’s private.
You give your ID info to whomever you want, including the minimum wage worker. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

That’s not any working definitely of private information I’ve ever seen.
We’re talking about privacy in the context of information security.

Well, in that context, again, it still works.
Show the ID to the minimum wage worker so they can prove identify; put it back into your wallet. Don’t want to show it? Well, don’t show it. Can someone snatch your wallet and see it without your consent? Sure, just like it happens on systems with weak security.

I’m sorry but I’m not following your point. I’m questioning whether the info on a license is really “private info”. I am not suggesting that people be forced to give Twitter their ID
