@skells yeah I'm with you. I think we have a certain right to anonymity. Just like I don't think the government should be allowed to use facial recognition on public streets, I think forcing people to tie their identity to their online persona is obtrusive. Some people need anonymity to feel safe doing their jobs (a good journalist for example).

@skells yeah we definitely have a massive amount of mineable data, but utilization is a lot harder. I would be silly not to believe we have glowies on here too, but that's different from the admins of every server voluntarily submitting data to the government. The federated nature makes it harder for all of that data to be aggregated. We also don't collect phone numbers and gps coordinates.
I bet palantir can tell a lot about a person on fedi though looking at their follows, followers, likes, etc.

@Nakadai_mon sounds like you might be able to convert bitcoin to a kind that can only be sent to approved addresses, this sounds fucking atrocious, what are the possible benefits?
@thatguyoverthere my own concern is the "you must be registered as a person to post" - it's no accident that the federalist papers were anonymously published.
I can see well-intentioned reasons behind it, but it'll have a cooling effect also.
it's also been a clear talking point from many sockpuppets so I'm super suspicious of it
@thatguyoverthere sure, you can make the same arguements about open posts on fedi, although it's perhaps less easy to parse this won't be a problem for big, well funded entities
@thatguyoverthere it's embarrassing I needed this meme to put two and two together
