What connection do you think a third party is saving when using openid? Generally speaking the only thing the third party needs is your identifier which in most cases is just an email. It's no more devastating for the user base for that information to be leaked than it is when they're handling authorization themselves. I personally think using a government backed authorization platform is a terrible idea and something completely liable to be abused by those in power, but it would objectively be better than trying to have every single service store your personally identifiable information themselves.

Oh yes the famous state of Colorado UK.

UK driving licences do not look like that, they don't have US states on them (major clue), are green, and if the person in the photo actually looks like a living human and not corpse, it gets sent back as unacceptable.

Oh aye, I am the #1 government truster, they should "not record" where I visit and should be trusted to ignore my internet history

The reason that up until now an app like that hasn't existed is because it is an absolutely awful idea if you spend more than 10 seconds thinking about it.

It's ripe for abuse in fact I would be surprised if even half of the reports are legitimate. Isn't absolutely god awful system and whoever thought this up is an absolute prat, who seriously needs to get outside and actually experience real life and real people.

Oh, so they started requiring that in the last couple days?

Jesus you definitely need to get out more.

Yeah it has to be that way otherwise all these venture capital funded businesses that never actually make a profit could just do whatever they want, and considering that's basically every startup it would essentially neuter to the law.

Whoopsie.
What goes around comes around.

If I had to choose between a government and a private entity to store my personal governmental records (e.g. age and name), I'd 100% choose the government first.

No idea why they were collecting identification then.

Even worse, since the hackers got a bunch of the data at once, the company must have held onto those pictures long after they registered people to their service, which they likely didn't need to do.

The app required ID uploads ostensibly to verify that you were a woman signing up, men were not allowed to join for obvious reasons

Yes, trying to warn other women about a man you dated who abused you or gave off weird vibes is definitely the same as getting your nudes or porn video of yourself leaked against your will onto the public internet for everyone to see

As usual on Lemmy, the answer is just for women to shut up and listen to what the men want

easy to say, but that depends entirely on the government and company doesn't it?

Nice site you got there! Made from scratch or using some service/app?

Friendly reminder that some services do need your ID otherwise they cannot help you or at least they need to very you (accountants, notaries, etc)

edit: I can´t do your tax report if I 1 don´t identify you and 2 I don't have the social security for which I need to do the report

The original incarnation on Facebook got sued for posting libel and shut down. There's no judge of truth on these apps it's all she said and no he said.

Any government already has all of that information, so, no.

By giving it to a company, you just increase the risks of info leakage.

I mean. A social database I feel is toxic in of itself. It's makes forgiveness harder, it makes changing yourself harder. What's the point in changing if people are gonna look you up in a database like this and perhaps forevermore treat you as if you are like that in the present day, forever. It assumes that humans are unchanging, that once a shitty person always a shitty person.

As always life is complicated.
I am talking about my personal situation.
