Twitter/X new ID Verification - First Look
(lemmy.world)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
90s: stay anonymous, be careful with strangers, don't give up any more info than you have to. The internet can be a dangerous place. Also, supervise your kids and have them ask permission to go online.
2010s-2020s: livestream your life 24/7, use real names and emails everywhere when signing up for bullshit, hand your kid a phone and let them go buck wild as well.
How did we stray like this?
It's also ironic that the same generation of parents telling us to be careful online and "don't believe everything you see on TV" are the same ones that get their news from grifter pundits and divisive facebook memes generated by Russian bot farms.
It’s remarkable isn’t it? Now we’re the ones telling our parents to turn off the TV and get off the internet or it’ll rot their brains.
