Tiktok is a company comparable in scale to Google. 130Bn in revenue last year.
Patreon is nowhere near the scale of YouTube. But I also think it’s the only viable solution to privacy and supporting creators.
It’s impossible to do without exposing a private signing cert to everyone, yes. That’s the issue.
You can’t do asymmetric key signing anonymously and with a central issuer.
So either you have to just trust the assertions (0 security) or you have to have a trusted issuer (not anonymous)
A pseudonym issuer is a trusted issuer. There’s no way to do it otherwise. You have to trust someone to make this kind of system work.
Agreed that law enforcement should not be involved but the quote I posted was also from the article and it seems impossible.
Most of these make sense and are definitely blockers for this ever releasing but -
Remove the concept of the Pseudonym Provider and ensure pseudonyms are generated and stored locally without the possibility of linking back to real identities.
Correct me if I’m wrong but this data all has to be signed somewhere right? Like the eID contains cryptographically signed assertions about the user in some standard (JWT?) format.
What use is signing the assertions locally? There would be no way to tell if the citizen actually had any valid id at all. A pseudonym provider is the privacy layer that allows for signing of new tokens after ensuring the validity of the old.
How could you sign an anonymous token using a valid one without it being linked back to the valid one? It seems like impossible constraints.
Am I totally off base here?
Google does have similar permissions requirements and all apps run sandboxed on Android.
Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.
Sorta. The foundation does.
Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.
I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.
Fuck ads.
The issue is fuck ads
I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.
You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?
Not just Europe either. 172 countries use NFC passports, all of which have your full biometric info (including a high res headshot) encoded onto the chip.
If you’ve ever had a passport your face is known to the government of your country and searchable in a database.
Do you have a passport?
It’s open source and can be restricted to private followers. If you self host it’d be as private as possible for an Instagram clone
I’d argue corporations should strive to represent their employees.
That’s not a corporation that’s a co-op. I think cooperatives are great. Corporations less so.
Corporations don’t deserve to maintain anything, they aren’t people and have no ethical status either.
Ethical status isn’t what I’m talking about here: I’m talking about legal protections for entities. A corporation is an entity and has legal protections.
Again we can discuss if capitalism should be the system we use but as long as it is then corporations will, by definition, have legal status and protections.
Nonetheless you’re working double time to make sure the use of ‘reasonable’ with all its connotations is seen as acceptable here. Making sure everyone knows that you think this is normative.
It’s absolutely mundane and normal. It’s unnatural but not strange.
I’d rather the system didn’t work like this: but it is entirely expected given the laws that govern the nation in which this occurred.
And that’s by definition normative.
We will not reach a common ground.
You went from talking about concepts to directly attacking me. I wouldn’t expect you’d ever come to a truce with someone you see as an enemy. I’m sorry you feel that way.
It’s both reasonable and expected.
We can discuss if a corporation deserves to exist but granted that it does: it is implicitly reasonable that it deserves to maintain its premises and staffing in a way that is conducive to business.
Now if you want to talk about corporate structures and the dissolution of capitalist enterprise that’s a different story.
But in today’s world and with today’s rules it is entirely reasonable.

Private Spaces when they come to Fairphone will be perfect for this.
Not gleeful - just fully understanding why.
I admire their principled stand. They had to know it would cost them their jobs but chose to do it anyway.
Their firing isn’t a surprise and is fully reasonable by the company. I hope they get great jobs elsewhere, where their morals will be appreciated… But there are very few workplaces that give a damn about morals.
The eye is literally a part of your brain poking out of a hole in your skull. It’s really hard to transplant. It’s nearly impossible to get sight from a transplanted eye:
There are on average ~7 million cone cells and ~92 million rod cells in the eye, each of which has its own separate nerve connection that runs all the way into the occipital lobe.
This guy would be the first person to ever get vision from a transplant.
