I don’t know why you think an online ID will stop botting, people get viruses and hacked all the time. All this does is make people’s data more valuable, and create a valuable repository of people’s personal information. Not to mention the centralization of user data, which will no doubt be used to monitor average people. Both by governments looking for dissenters, and by advertisers, who will use that data to squeeze every last cent out of you via Surveillance pricing.

What do you think will happen when the nations collective web browsing information inevitably gets leaked and anyone can look up anyone’s name, see their license and what they’ve watched on YouTube or elsewhere? It’s creepy tech, not protection.

The solution to these ‘social problems’ is funding education. But that doesn’t work quickly, costs money, and various groups of people in power oppose widespread critical thinking. Making sure people aren’t exhausted because they can’t afford anything and are always working would help too, but it’s not ‘sexy’ to uplift people’s standard of living I guess

Not everyone needs to be ‘in the know’, in fact most of the time people won’t even try to think through a position and it’s consequences. They’ll just support it based on surface level arguments. Also Meta isn’t exactly drowning in liability when they’re raking in billions in profit. Power stands to gain when information is controlled

I still have to boot into windows for Autocad and laser cutting software. Please lightburn bring back Linux support!

It’s not gonna be a seven hour war, that’s for sure
