So I have become a bit paranoid on social media, not being sure if the person I am talking to is a bot or not…
So I was wondering how many people would be willing to identify themselves with government issued documents when signing up to a new social media platform.
Similar to what banks and exchanges do with KYC.
Ironically I am posting this on social media but oh well 🤷♂️
Edit 1:
Thank you all for your replies, I see some good ideas and fair concerns.
Ideally the social media platform would not store your data, it would be deleted upon signup or a authentication service provided by the government would have to be used.
Of course authenticating with your ID would not mean you have to display your legal name or profile picture, its just meant to prevent from BOT signups.
