Session tokens are valid because they come from the service themselves, that’s how they know they’re good.

That doesn’t work here because if there’s no identifying information in this token from a 3rd party service (the ID verification service), then it is useless because it can simply be reused by everyone.

So you’d have to create a unique one for each site, which would involve the login website and verification service to link to each other, which is extremely privacy violating.

If it is NOT unique (ex: anonymous person request verification for site A), then that service can reuse that verification token and break it. So identifying the sites together is required for this to work and is a massive issue.

The solution is simple on-device parental controls and have the browser flag this. Yes it can be cheated just like “are you 18+?” prompts, and that’s how it should be.

It’s also important to point out that you’re saying social media. ID verification would not stop there, it would then be used for sites like porn, which nonsense laws have already passed for this without proper solutions. Which the government should have zero business seeing what legal porn you watch, nor is there anything wrong with porn that it should be banned.

What else would he possibly use it for?

First off, how can you possibly trust any 3rd party with that information and whatever you’re browsing. Secondly, as soon as you show a statement to this company, that is privacy invasive right there. Also how do you know they’re securely processing this and deleting it when they’re done? This is where is becomes insecure and creates a surveillance state.

No it’s not. It’s literally impossible, that’s the issue.

So how was this measured?

Agreed. Hope you got room in your bed cuz I’m joining you tonight.

I don’t think it’s illegal, but rather where you park can make it illegal.

How is that illegal?

You say that but they literally went to court against a journalist claiming they “hacked” them because the journalist simply referenced their html code that is visible from pressing F12.

Luckily I think the case was dismissed but it was really close and was extremely problematic to begin with.

Seems like the courts haven’t caught on, but most people migrated to yt-dlp.

I do wish they rebranded the project to get rid of YouTube from the name. It can do so much more and is insanely powerful. It should be advertised as a generic video extractor. Don’t know if it’d help legal issues though, despite them not actually breaking laws.

That’s a load of shit lol, also there’s absolutely nothing good that can be drawn from these conclusions. All this can achieve is political pundits some ammo to cry about on their shows.

Yes, just with very different adjectives

lemmy.ml is a tankie community, so this is not that surprising. It’s a matter of time before I get banned from there too lol.

What a bad taste title
