I found out that when confronted with ID surveillance I don't really want to visit that site after all.
Companies keep pushing security onto the user at the same time as demanding more personal data.
They can suck my....

Complain to your local government. Yes, many websites are guilty of surveillance capitalism themselves and are lobbying for it, but the recent push was largely in response to new surveillance laws passed by governments under various guises, such as protecting the youth.
My government are pushing for this stuff though.
Which is why I am here now instead of on reddit where I got fed up of being asked to submit for facial and ID scans. Fuck that! I have seen some of my comments online, there is no way I want my ID permanently attached to that.
Yes, I assumed so. Welcome to Lemmy! I meant: Complain to your government about it! Only when they are pressured by enough citizens is they're a chance that they may reconsider.
But have you considered purchasing this bauble online
They need it to profile new models for their trump island in Albania
Strava wants my birthdate now ... like wtf ...
My favorite is 1941-12-07. Bots can't tell it's fake, but American humans will know it probably is.
It boggles my mind why Americans and the UK would accept this.
Wait, no it doesn't.
I don't accept it. But wtf can I do about it? Other than abandon every platform that asks for ID. But I have already done that. Which is why I am here.
Yeah, it's very simple. Any website that asks for ID clearly doesn't want any traffic.
The problem is the corruption at the level where accepting or not matters. There's always corruption, but competing interests can help dissipate organized attempts at it.
I havenβt seen a platform ask for it yet.
Its happening in the EU too.
It's following more of an OAuth model in the EU rather than give private-company-selling-your-data-off-to-Palantir model.
we don't accept it current government is pushing for it regardless of lack of it in their manifesto I didn't even vote for them
Nobody is accepting it, this is the Sociopathic Oligarchs paying the politicians to shove this down our throats.
Right now, the most effective solution is to stay on a full court offensive press against MAGA, steadily activating every apathetic voter possible, forcing every MAGA to face their fascism, take back Congress in November, and turn it into one enormous investigative body with a thousand tentacles.
Then we can start putting them in prison for their CRIMES.
And for those who say the Dems will never do that: Fuck you, YOU are the problem. Instead of signaling that you'll accept their failure AGAIN, you need to be telling them that they'd better do the jobs we're electing them to do, OR ELSE!
Begs the question why a lot of your society idealizes the mechanisms that give rise to those Sociopathic Oligarchs. They didn't spring out of nowhere. Elon Musk is not anyone special. Trump isn't anyone special. It's not a just switch the dial problem, it's a deeply rooted institutional one that will either churn out mild oligarchs at best or wannabe fascists at worst. Trump thrives on an exaggeration of an identity that does exist for a lot of Americans.
Your current system will never do that, and you've trained yourself to believe the only viable solution that is widely accepted throughout the world, secession, makes you a slave supporter. There are some states that would start putting them in prison for their crimes, but which ironically enough will never be allowed to by the same gaslighters that want to praise the original secessionists.
So what was it, was the war against secession a war against slavery, or was it a war to maintain American Hegemony for the oligarchs that could see beyond their slave farms and who ended up coining the modern day corporation? Because if it was to fight slavery, gotta tell you, the EU allowed the UK to leave without a problem and without weakening their regulations for private interests.
