Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I agree with you.
But how, in plain English terms, do we convey this to people that don't care?
@jbjrkng Here's a thread with some arguments I wrote to my own government about the issue (there is also additional resources in the last post of the thread): https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/116726910929195900

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.
I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.
This is not a drill.
If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.
They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.

What percentage of social media accounts do you think are AI bots? Could AI takeover dormant accounts?

🤨@dsmasterson Not if you use a long, complexe, and unique password with a second factor of authentication. Which is something everyone should do for all their accounts.

Copycat accounts that look like you but change one character in the username.

@Em0nM4stodon I will not submit.

@leberschnitzel @jarinks How come? I know it's only four other people but it is interesting.

@leberschnitzel you should delete that part of the db, storing that kind of sensitive data is extremely dangerous

Those that don't comply will be the minority, and both politicians and companies count on that - they will be eventually coerced into complying by being shut out of vital tasks, and eventually deemed criminals for being unable to comply with legally mandated government paperwork. -

I've often wondered it this has any bearing on the security of important accounts. I started naming those accounts with something other than my Email.

@Em0nM4stodon It is not so hard, because there are very few social media. The majority is obscene, unlawful, a-social, vindictive, addictive, harmful and commercial. You can do without and above all, the need for datacenters will drop significantly.

I have already posted on Facebook that should that be required, I will not be back, and posted the throwaway email address I used to register as a means for my friends to contact me.

@Em0nM4stodon never use biological markers like finger print, iris scans, face scans or such. Once in the system, always in the system.
And IDs, passports etc can be stolen so easily. One might give them to the criminals right away for identity abuse. -
I agree with you.
But how, in plain English terms, do we convey this to people that don't care?
@jbjrkng @Em0nM4stodon "The system doesn't accept my ID."
You know, wrong lighting, bad camera, not enough flash, too much flash, not enough proprietary code in the camera software... or ID not American enough.

@csolisr That's not how things went down on Discord. Why don't you stop demotivational concern trolling when you don't have anything constructive to offer?

@Em0nM4stodon @dsmasterson Doesn't help when Facebook's support chatbot just resets account credentials for anyone who asks..

@Em0nM4stodon I've had to warn that ALL my online accounts including this one might become irregularily updated if SIM card ID registration is imposed in the US. The FCC has posted essentially a request for comment on this.
I SHOULD be able to service this account either by wifi or by foreign data-only tourist SIMS, but if neither is possible I will walk away from the Internet rather than risk verifying everything I've ever written with ID
