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

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.

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 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?

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