if people stopped giving all these corporations their age or id/kyc info and just canceled their subscriptions or accounts for 4 months we'd see how fast they stop asking once those next quarter results show up.

governments would wake up pretty fast with less VAT, GST, and Tax revenue, too. you give them an inch and they will take a mile. cut that inch and cut their source of revenue, and they will all fall in line.
that is the only solution to all these stupid laws.

@nixCraft true, but most people will never collectively do that.

the only time you should hand over your ID like a passport or stuff like that is when you absolutely need to. for example like crossing international borders, opening or operating a bank account or applying for a driver's license. those are all valid cases and highly regulated.
but this for profit corporation will just use your data to target you for profit. they even sold mobile phone numbers used for 2FA to advertisers. can you really trust them now with this nonsense?

@nixCraft I should be able to walk to a post office or bank where, after presenting an ID card, they give me a single use token I can use to prove to an organization I'm a real human — or that I'm of a certain age, etc.
I think this should work well enough even if no personal information is stored on that token.
I would happily join a Mastodon server that only accepts authentic users...kind of like the "blue checkmark" of Twitter but democratized so it's not just celebrities.

@twit_terrorist @nixCraft Click bait.
"CGI also stated that the attackers accessed an older version of the source code and insisted there was “currently no indication of any impact on customers’ production environments, production data, or operational services. Information to the contrary is not accurate.”
The Swedish Tax Agency echoed that position.
“We take all incidents seriously, but we don’t see anything that affects us right now,” IT Director Peder Sjölander said."
