While I appreciate this, the sentence "ignoring consumer data choices" is funny while we are forcing sensitive data to be exposed via #IDVerification

Fighting monopolies is one thing, but shall be done properly.

One example would be Valve's Steam store. It is rather a monopoly and even most Valve fans agree on this, however, it has little to no competition. Other provide less features & worse experience.

So we shall embrace competition than just blindly "fight" monopolies.

Great that noone is trying to make these technologies and the internet inaccessible via #IDVerification

Well, almost.

Except that isn’t! You are actively assisting big tech with this move.

Asking children and adults to identify themselves online isn't holding big tech companies responsible!

Verifying who everyone is with government ids is not a solution. It’s a massive data breach waiting to happen.

You are enabling much much more harm to children and everyone using the internet by pushing this narrative of verification.
