    I can see why Reddit needs to secure the user base. As not accounts proliferate they need to be able to demonstrate verified real users to their advertisers. Unfortunately for privacy, this will be widespread, in that case. I’m opting out.

    You’d have to get me high on PCP + cocaine + some sort of crazy shit like krokodil to just implant the idea that I need to verify my very existence to a private company to post comments online or to enjoy a website.

    So much of what creating privacy busting biometric databases claim to do could be accomplished with speed-of-light geofencing, a.k.a. “distance-bounding protocol”. If a moderator decides messages from country X are problematic, then they can flag/block them for other users. It only requires carefully measuring ping times and basically involves banning traffic from places that can’t achieve certain minimum pings to certain trusted servers.

    I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.

    They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.

        Or counterfits good enough beat the scanner someone is willing to pay for, a bank might have a super good system but would all the other branches that would use something like this, would even an ATM in a bad neighbourhood has as good of a scanner as one in a higher class area if they can save some money?

    Adam ruined reddit.

    (Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)

    I’M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

      there’s such a painfully obvious agenda over there with the admins. I got a 7 day ban for knocking russians and saying “slava ukraini” then I got a perm ban a week after that for posing the question “how long until an average citizen with an AR decides to deal with ICE themselves?” because apparently both times I was “inciting violence against a minority” because Russians and ICE agents, according to Reddit, are minorities

            Yeah I’m not sure why I haven’t yet. I guess I just keep thinking that there’s some topics like tech that they can’t turn into a propaganda opportunity, but they consistently prove me wrong.
