Who TF is actually going to want to use these platforms bad enough to do this shit?
Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.
Reddit is mainly just very poorly disguised government surveillance and AI generated advertisement, and none of the content is even enjoyable or enticing. Who TF is their target audience?
You severely overestimate how much the average person cares about their own privacy.
Even so, are they going to acquire, set up, and use an iris scanner just to remain anonymous on Reddit?
It’ll be in yer phone
Probably someday, but the article is describing a dedicated orb device that does this.
In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.
Useful idiots
