  They’re working up to it with “age verification” bullshit.

        so, i see that the article mentioned discord’s leak, but it did not say that california was going after discord next. that was kind of my point.

        yeah, it’s identity verification, not age verification, but once they have gone the step of ID verification, why do they need to bother snooping the chats? they already know who you are. they can just pull your online ID and whatever is associated with it. it’s one step further in the game, if they get it we’ve lost whatever anonymity we thought we had (unless we pile the entire family’s devices onto one ID and that’s an anonymizing tactic but not great).
