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

@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.
@maswan @Em0nM4stodon woah same. They wound up completely locking out the account, not visible at all.

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.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks

@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?

@dckim @Em0nM4stodon In the UK, age verification is already mandatory for 18+ servers, yes. Discord wants to introduce it globally.

@Em0nM4stodon Just cut-and-pasted this to my Facebook account, which I do still have. Expecting a few confused followers to ask questions, maybe. Ya do what ya can. -
@krutonium @Em0nM4stodon based on the people in this thread blaming users for giving into this, they’re in good company!

@Em0nM4stodon I like the sentiment, but really, STOP USING greed-powered social media.

@Longspeak we're on the same boat, but just to be sure I already prepared a self hosted stoat instance and a steam group (we're all gamers that have steam) that reflect the discord server. So if something happens it's really just an invite.
