I personally do not find that hard to believe. Let's see, the major CEO's of our time....We have Zionist Nazi Robot who runs on Sweet Baby Ray's and radicalized the boomers, we have the White African Dude who capitalist'd so hard he turned himself right wing and his user base went from solar loving liberals to incel Nazi chuds, the google guy who sounds like he tried to transplant his own vocal cords who just spent more money than any human should have to try to prevent being taxes a tiny little bit once time (far less than he spent), we got the former-and-current crackhead who makes lumpy pillows and doesn't know how elections works, the one who said drinking water isn't a human right, dozens that said that inflation and/or consumer pain is a good thing during the pandemic, the former toilet scrubber turned CEO of the biggest company on the planet who keeps trying to convince us AI will do everything so he can sell more chips, there's too many CEOs or went to jail or would've gone to jail but were pardoned by the orange one, and oh yeah, there's the shitstain in the Whitehouse who's trying to simulations speed run every single grift know to mankind while also bankrupting (morally and financially) and entire nation.

This. Sooo many internet smoothbrains saw this as if Proton put on a MAGA hat and stormed the capital. They said one pragmatic thing, given the current circumstances at the time.

Duh. Of course it is.
It's Meta's final nail in the open internet.

Meta wants to know everything from your penis size to how many nose hairs you have - after all, both are lucrative marketing opportunities!

And they want to be free from wrongdoing, like being accused of harming kids through addiction, bullying or malicious ads. With an ID, if a parent allows a kid to use theirs for social media and gets addicted or dies, Meta gets to say it's the parent's fault.

Meta wants it to be at the OS level, so it doesn't cost them anything, they don't risk data breaches and stuff, but they get the info and the benefits. Microsoft, Google and Apple will foot the cost of the build out and risk of hacks. Facebook is free from liability, free of the technical work, the security aspects and can blame anything that goes wrong on someone else.

And if it's more than just an age, like it passes the name or ID numbers, or anything more sensitive, they'll piggyback on that to sell more ads.

If this can go from nowhere to everywhere in like 2 years, than at that rate in 10 years you'll have to swipe a government issue passkey to log into anything and each tweet will be cryptographically signed to verify the sender.

Even if they prove there's nothing bad happening, I will never ever, trust them not to change that, very suddenly. They could love to have 100M American cars they can brick the moment a U.S. President says "Taiwan is a country"

But hell, I'm in the market for a car and I'm spending more time researching how to remove the LTE than on milage or features. I'd rather drive a go-cart down I-95 in rush hour than have my car selling everywhere I go, or tracking how many times I hit "next track"
