@_elena @EUCommission I don't even understand how this thing works. They claim to have no access to the user's identity data and that it stays local on the device. So why do they need you to scan your passport while they are countless ways to authenticate anonymously?In a press report they say that the goal is to confirm you're humain without revealing who you are, yet in the very next sentence they say that they encourage a culture where users engage under their real names, WTF?

@aral "Oh, look, yet another closed platform I don't want to be on" Why would anyone sign up for W when there's Mastodon, Pixelfed, GoToSocial, Matrix/Synapse, and even bsky ... Thank you, but ...

@Taco_lad @pluralistic Holy shit no! People keep being impressed by error rates above 90% but any number of errors per 100 becomes a metric shit ton of harm when uses are counted in the millions...

@JulianOliver THIS!

@Vivaldi UK is terrible for enforcing this kind of stuff.

@AliceStollmeyer this is getting interesting
