We all know that nearly all of us will be ping’d for verification. That’ll let em get our ID and add another data point. I say they’re throthing at the upcoming data rush.

I honestly doubt it. They’ve got very little to gain from it, and huge risk to reputation if they do it and then get hacked.

They don’t care about reputation in any way. It’ll be a small fine of a few million and they’ll rub their hands for that cheap data.

Yeah, just look at Discord. Not only harvesting data, by sharing it with “trusted partners” I was told the Esafety commissioner can bring legal action to find companies up to $850k per offence for improperly storing Australian citizens data, but I haven’t heard anything about hundreds of millions in fines against Discord yet.
