  Doesn’t the UK require that shit now?

  And I know a bunch of US states require it when you stumble on a tit.

  Either way, VPNs making bank right now.

  It’s not about the individual behavior though and shaming someone for this doesn’t change anything. If you have a wildly popular social media network, thousands/millions of people will provide their ID if requested. This is all on Discord for not keeping the IDs safe and for asking for them in the first place.

    Their business is farming idiots, if you don’t protect yourself, nobody will

      Of course everyone should try to be safe online and we should try to give anyone the ability to protect themselves. Shaming individuals will actively prevent people from being educated. The issue at hand is about the business practices and security standards of discord, not individual people. I get that in this bleak capitalist system, neither discord nor any other company has the incentive to care about people. But it’s their responsibility nonetheless. Despite the economic system we live in constantly pressuring us to compete with each other, we should not give in but be empathetic with and help each other.

        Telling people that it is Discord’s responsibility to protect them is bad education.

        It is not and they will not. The sooner people get the idea that corporation is the enemy of the working class, the quicker we get to move to the change phase of operation.

        As long as people keep doing stupid shit, the longer the corporations will continue to fuck them over. It is business 101. Why should they change when idiot consumers won’t
