Another scary thing is Palantir who’d be all for the push for verification with them positioning themselves to make money off of it, and wanting to be responsible for collecting data on everyone. They already turned out to be a partner of Discord through Persona.

They’ve already pushed for government contracts even in Europe. And with how things look like with the US government how much confidence is there in the US government.

I’m not sure government involvement will lead to the type of outcome people think it will.

It isn’t always that simple. It could lead to age verification requirements which might be the goal as opposed to banning loot boxes. Then what has people upset about discord wanting face scans or IDs could end up becoming a legal requirement for online gaming accounts that want to play games rated T and higher.

And this age verification thing has been getting pushed throughout the world with attempts at chat control in the EU and what’s already happened in the UK.
