Roblox is starting to roll out the mandatory age checks that will require all of its users to submit an ID or scan their face in order to access the platform's chat features.
also a very useful way to mask your true reason if your true reason is “i want to build a database of people”. four horsemen of the internet type shit.
Yes but I don’t think anyone but the ccp is capable of actually doing that competently at the scale of a large country. Maybe ten years ago google might’ve had a shot.
Yeah. I’m not a fan of any if this, but nobody cares when you say ‘dont be evil¹’; not being pointlessly recklessly evil isn’t a serious grown-up policy. better to do a political Tesla valve; introduce competing contradictory evil, dilute the propaganda, and arrest momemtym
you say that, but if that was the case why would ibm go to all that trouble to get an exclusion from the json user agreement clause “the software shall be used for good, not evil”?
No like i don’t think they’re still competent enough. Morally, sure, thry could be that evil.
If, say, Denver needed that database, they’d do it before the check cleared.
I dont think they could do it for a large country.
They would want to, they would take the contract, ans it would hire so many subcontractors cut so many corners the end product would be unrecognizable.

doing it incompetently is arguably worse, because that involves storing way too much info and sharing it too freely.

¹except HUAC. HUAC cares.

Yeah they did the 30s/40s equivalent, but I don’t think they still have the functional capacity to work at that scale.
they probably do, just that we don’t get to hear about it until a couple of years have passed.
