I think I’m out of touch. I’m ok with that. But wtf did I just read?

In that sense it’s a good thing, but strategically this seems like a very strange decision for Russia. They don’t have many allies left in the world, what they gain for their local businesses might not be worth angering their most powerful ally.

god will sort them out.

Wouldn’t bet on it.

By using an identifier like a session token the verifier never has to know what website you’re visiting. You show the social media company a message containing this season token, an assertion that you are over 16 years old and a signature. You don’t need it to delete or securely process that data, as the only thing it knows is that you’re over 16 and it’s required to verify this for all users.

Of course you can. All you need is a trusted 3rd party (the organization who issued your ID, probably your government) to verify your identity and sign a statement that you are over 16 years old. Then you present that statement to the social media company and you’ve done it.

You’re right. I’m not arguing that this whole thing is a good idea. I just pointed out that it would be possible to implement without sharing real IDs with the social media platforms. It would not be unenforceable as the top comment said.

I see you paid as much attention to my comment as the barista did to your order.

Somebody had been considering what could be worse than microwave tea.

paying attention to what you order.

Does not mean they don’t pay attention to anything. Much like you paying attention to baristas mistakes but only half reading the comment you’re replying to.

Which corporation are you talking about? The app i linked is open source and originally developed by SIDN. You can verify what details it shares. In a case like this that should only be “the person logging in 16 year or older”

Even ignoring the fact that it’s unenforceable anyway, unless you require a real ID, wish is just straight up worse for all sorts of reasons.

It is possible to verify age using a real ID without sharing other details from that ID with a social media company with apps like https://www.yivi.app/en/

That’s not Christmas winning, that’s just commercialism winning.

Murder becomes too easy

It’s not.

Mostly sex and stay out of my territory

It’s not like historical figures are always referred to by their proper names. How many English speakers talk about Cristóbal Colón or pronounce Julius Caesar as [ˈkae̯.sar].

The title is quite misleading. Scholz is leader of a NATO country, but it reads like an ultimatum was issued to the leader of NATO, which Scholz is definitely not.

Thanks bro

What is a passport bro?

Tell that to the Armenians
