    Depends in what part you trust. I trust them with my ID, I wouldn’t trust a random website. They know it anyway as they made it.

      If we’re talking about a hard copy ID (passport, drivers license) that’s one thing. A digital ID, and over the internet, is asking for trouble.

        That’s the reason I wrote what I wrote. everyone only knows what they need to know. How do you think a third entity would identify you?

          Easy:

          • companies have a vested interest in identifying you (ads, data brokers, etc)
          • governments have a vested interest in tracking you (local police, terrorism tracking, etc)

          I don’t trust the government and private interests to come to an agreement that somehow benefits citizens more than their combined interests.

            I’m not saying I’m for age verification. I’m just saying if it were for it, there’d be solutions.

            What I wrote I did while being barely awake in five minutes. Sure it needs work. But there’d be ways to do it without a camera up your butt.

          I doubt the concept of anonymised data. Companies and governments have bad incentives to know who you are, and collect data from brokers to make correlations and educated guesses.

          How do you think a third entity would identify you?

          You may want to join us reading along in the privacy communities of the fediverse.

          But long story shortened - third parties are very much identifying each of us in staggeringly novel and effective ways.

          For example, depending on circumstances, third parties may not be sure which room in my home I am sitting in, right now, while being aware that I’m writing this. This shit has gotten deeply weird and invasive.
