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.

@Em0nM4stodon You're right, but a bunch of dopamine junkies aren't going to wait for their fix no matter how good for them it would be.

@DRIVEWAY7EXILE3GLORY @Em0nM4stodon I definately won't be keeping a phone number if that requires ID.
Signal will work for a while with a dead phone number, unless someone else reclaims it and then installs Signal.
I would imagine that an emergency of this level would force Signal's devs to support running Signal Desktop or Signal on a phone with no SIM wifi-only without a phone number.
I do not need voice calling service at all, and that's what the FCC claims to be focussing on.
@LukefromDC @Em0nM4stodon Agreed. I hope that Signal dumps the phone requirement soon!

@Em0nM4stodon I have already walked away from a decades old linkedin account over this, after microsoft claimed there was a "security issue" with it and the only recovery option was to send them photos of ID etc.

Because Discord was one single site with viable alternatives, so the market logic was still able to pressure them. This is an all-out attack on every single website at once, sponsored simultaneously by the government and the companies, and with actual criminal sanctions for non-compliance - boycotting will eventually become legally impossible. The only feasible remedy is to pressure the governments themselves to change the law.
@csolisr it's not "boycotting", it's adding as much friction to the process as possible. And "eventually legally impossible" is not "currently legally impossible".

@Em0nM4stodon I prefer using mastodon instances run by gay furrries in their basement without age verification.
-
@LukefromDC @Em0nM4stodon Agreed. I hope that Signal dumps the phone requirement soon!
@DRIVEWAY7EXILE3GLORY @Em0nM4stodon Otherwise many of us will have to move to protocols that work without it.
Such a transition would ideally be to peer to peer systems with mesh network capabiity, as setting up local Matrix servers when Internet access is even partially ID-gated might be an issue.
Note that home landline access doesn't have a phone number and isn't likely to be affected, but this is tied to and gives away your actual address. Should only be used over Tor. Running a non-Torified Matrix server over one in this kind of environment mght get spicy to say the least

@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
@LukefromDC @Em0nM4stodon There is a reason I like to stay anonymous. I don't spout hateful things, I dont do anything illegal, but I want to be able to walk away at any time if I screw up and get cancelled or something. The other benefit is that if the definition of terrorist behaviour is redefined to include, "Vague satire about eating the rich", then I don't want it to be linked back to me.

@Em0nM4stodon
I don't need any social network so much that I will sacrifice my privacy. -
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.
@starraven @Em0nM4stodon
I quit FB/Meta years ago already.
Never missed it tbh. -
I agree with you.
But how, in plain English terms, do we convey this to people that don't care?
Base building is hard. Usually the approach with this kind of thing is building credibility by helping people with their problems first and then inviting them to participate in additional maybe more challenging actions.
Boycott campaigns can work, but they need a cleary defined objective and a strong base building strategy that can carry the movement through to some defined conclusion. Historically tech is really bad at this since we don't really try to build labor power or any kind of collective organization that resonates with the masses tho.
