Comment on I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age
MortUS@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’m hoping in the next ~10 years this problem gets solved. I don’t know how, I don’t care how.
That’s the gist of my take.
I think misinformation campaigns by BFAs and botnets are going to be an absolute nightmare for every society worldwide within the next ~10 years. Let’s be clear - it’s absolutely a part of international cyber warfare.
IMO Nations worldwide are already behind the curve and I think the U.S. is a prime example of how misinformation campaigns can be used to quickly sow distrust in leadership, promote division, and start movements. You could argue that U.S. has been headed this way for years, but it’s been a swift change of guard when compared to the past few decades. I think each Nation is already dealing with this kind of cyber warfare but again, are behind the game due to slow politics, slow policies, and lack of policies on tech.
I understand your concerns, but you also don’t have any solutions.

You seem to be taking your position based on how you’d like to see ID verification implementand using that as an argument for it. While I see your argument and it doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t reflect the reality of how governments or corporationare using it.
It’s like you just assume governments and corporations will do what you hope and making statements off that. Its like you think you are the supreme ruler or something where they are going to be guided by your vision.
That’s the impression I’m getting from what I’ve read. Since you have failed to convince me that what you wish will happen will be to the benefit you hope it will be.

Again, you offer no solutions to our problems. No ideas. Your hopelessness is boring and unoriginal.
