I just noticed that Facebook has acquired an identity verification service that is used to detect >Confirm says that its software allows for proof of identity for online transactions, allowing users to detect potentially fraudulent activity. >Confirm.io makes authenticating a government issued ID easy, fast & secure. What do you think of the ability for Facebook to now have access to service Identity authentication clients? Is there a way around using government issued IDs to avoid having Facebook to potentially catalog your offline presence? I think that its particularly concerning that they state that they retain no information, but with Facebook buying them, there is a high probability that they will retain information >Instant ID verification that is simple, safe & secure. Run ID authentication checks on any government issued ID using our RESTful API. >Confirm authenticates with advanced forensics, extracts ID information for easy use, and retains zero personal information. >Confirm.io makes authenticating a government issued ID easy, fast & secure. Our simple API lets you integrate in minutes, and confirm a person’s identity for any transaction that requires or benefits from proof of identity.

does Facebook want to be my government now? screw you Zuck

I've been using facebook for a while since I have a real life and real friends outside of my whole autistic pro privacy internet skiddie face and I gotta say I don't care for this soykaf at all. I'm using an account with the most fake ass name in history and facebook's stupid algorithm hasn't realized yet. I've been kicked out and asked for identification 3 times so far and everytime I just make another email account and another account and add all my irl friends again since they know that I do that soykaf regularly. My point is: You can still hide in plain sight if you want to.

>>3807 We'll see when he decides to run in 2020 or 2024.

>>3813 that's implying that they still can't catalogue your location, places you frequent, your home, browsing habits, etc. wearing groucho marx glasses does relatively little when it comes to this type of tech giant. this is a big deal, as it's expanding facefucks reach, so now they can tell even more about you, even if you're a john doe or whatever on their website

>>3813 >pro privacy internet skiddie face You really fooled them anon by fake name and fake id. I am really proud of you.

>>3813 >neurosuggesting they don't have an algorithm that encompasses certain social circles and discussions within those IRL social circles to onow who isn and who isn't on their platform, and if they are using a pseudonym Wow ur like really smart U got emmm

basically: fuarrrk facebook, fuarrrk zuck, and I refuse to use it or let anyone suck me into getting on that soykafshow.

>>3813 You're not hiding from them.

>>3838 soykaf basically this, Facebook is literally everywhere now. Its on android, & websites/apps that enable you to connect your Facebook account.

Can someone explain to me why this is a big deal? This seems like something that people who decided to use facebook might be subjected to, but facebook has always been a privacy hellscape without its equal. Facebook tracking is still something you can opt out of by just using the Tor Browser Bundle. Also, why the fuarrrk did they put the co-founder's age (and only his) on the page?

>>3840 >Can someone explain to me why this is a big deal? because not only can Facebook demand a government ID for accounts, but now they may be able to crate/store pseudo accounts on anybody using government IDs for any of the services previously provided by he company they bought... imagine going to he bureau of drivers licenses and its serviced by facebook (a little extreme, but its one step closer)

>>3839 Not on my android with lineage os, not on my arch Linux laptop. Just keep yourself away from it.

>>3846 >>3839 https://labs.strava.com/heatmap/#15.45/14.41338/35.90979/hot/all have a GPS heat map based on device users who don't even have facebook, but have GPS enabled

>>3841 A bit OT, but this happens when the state puts no regulations on an multinational, not considering the impact that the multinational itself has on the life of the people. I say that this is a result of the free market applied at something that is not obviously a human right, the privacy. Has this sense?

>>3847 >have a GPS heat map based on device users who don't even have facebook, but have GPS enabled You know that you have to willingly upload your traces to strava for them to end up there, right? Again, that's just people willingly giving away their data.

>>3841 >imagine going to he bureau of drivers licenses and its serviced by facebook (a little extreme, but its one step closer) I'm sorry sir. We can't renew your license until you check in and like our page on Facebook.
