    Not only is this pointless/ineffective, it’s also completely unnecessary.

    Persona is owned by Palantir/Peter Thiel, which is in the business of information. Rest assured your credentials will be kept, in some form, regardless of what they say.

    Of course, this is just my thoughts on it, but it’s entirely possible that their original partner is dropping them due to PR concerns. Discord is a huge partner and they have been in the news constantly as of late with the ID talk, it might be scaring k-Id off because it’s almost entirely bad PR regarding their data safety and practices.
