On @rabble s podcast, Kara Swisher made the argument that "we ID for buying alcohol, why not for social media?" OK, but my local liquor store doesn't have to store data for millions of users...

Scary

my data was compromised, I got the discord email, luckily I wasn't stupid enough to upload ID or credit card information. Just my email I guess was compromised

Right. Showing your ID is vastly different than giving someone a copy of your ID for them to store it.

Expect more of this in a digital ID world. All the best 🙏🏻 View quoted note →

And all these fuckwits want to KYC the whole internet now.

"Hacked" ...? or was it the unspoken part of the "contract."

Exactly. I think Kara Swisher was really wrong about that!

That sucks. What did you upload for verification if you didn't upload your id? Or did you do some partial verification?

you Sir need to get your d*** wet

Another KYC failure. Government ID photos, names, email addresses, contact details, IP addresses, and customer support messages of roughly 70,000 Discord users worldwide were compromised after hackers breached a company contracted to handle Discord’s age verification process.

the Guardian

Hack of age verification firm may have exposed 70,000 Discord users’ ID photos

Names, email addresses and other contact details of users from around the world could also have been taken

just email. I'm not stupid enough to upload my ID

Even worse when hotel guests or airplane passenger information is leaked - as that usually contains address, birthday and phone number. Or government ID

This is overriding risk of digital ID. Totally wrong. Put all people's details in one place and let poor security compromise it. Was thinking to use Discord for our upcoming "Crypto Statto Insiders Club" for those using our upcoming trading software. It becomes a minefield when choosing platforms. Maybe Nostr has some chat capabilities. Will have to look into it. The real problem with increased digital footprints linked to digital ID is the potential for mis-classification of data. Especially with AI.
