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.

@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.

@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.

@Em0nM4stodon Refuse to ID ANYWHERE as a matter of principle!

@Em0nM4stodon I'm leaving Discord over their age verification bullshit. It was never a great platform but somehow it's what everyone uses. I have 6 people who are active in the new place, a Discourse forum, and it sucks that there is no good app like Discord has but I'm not uploading my ID anywhere.

@Em0nM4stodon
I really hope that politicians do not expect Mastondon to be able to use facial ID scans or upload other ID.Mastodon has a very small dev team with no money to pay for ID scans.
Unlike large social media, mastodon instances are usually moderated with clear policies on what is unacceptable practice.The way things are going in #Canada people might soon need something like a letter from the Pope just to connect to the internet.
The ignorance of politicians is staggering.

@Em0nM4stodon But...but.... they offered me a cookie.
Seriously, I'm sticking with Discord for now. My friends agree, we don't need ID to do what we do. If that changes, we'll drop it.

@AimeeMaroux @Em0nM4stodon where are people supposed to upload their ID and why exactly? Is this only in the UK/USA or what exactly is the deal here? EU?
