So what's the deal with the discord ID thing? Apparently it's connected to Peter Thiel?
People are saying it's part of a new effort to expand the surveillance state, but isn't the internet already one big fed honeypot anyways? Doesn't the FBI have backdoor access to everyone's shit regardless? Or is it just a PR thing because discord is seen as the "pedophile app"?
>inb4 it's discord who cares
I care to the degree that it might represent something bigger than just discord having forced ID. I mean this shit started with porn sites (in certain shithole states and countries). Also I think it represents a trend of electronics being less and less fun.
>inb4 ok and? we're communists we believe in revolution not silly fun
uygha you post on /leftypol/ relax.
Everybody use Discord because it's easy AND monopolistic.
The alternative - matrix, or whatevs has to be just as easy to connect to. Just click on a link and chat. As monopoly: Discord has all groups under one roof, which makes it centralized and easy to use. The alternatives are all splintered. Is there an option to make a chat aggregator which you can set up to chat in IRC, Matrix, Telegram, etc from one Site/App?
Forced internet IDs is still 15-30 years off, until the internet is totally locked down and controlled. Can be postponed with organized labor.
Appearently a few sites age restrict discussion of palestine, so by making doxxing yourself to palentir prerequisite to seeing that information, they effectively censor that information.
