    Also it doesn’t help that, for example, at U-Haul, employees just use their personal phone to scan a QR code and take pictures of your ID.

      this idea that employees can expect you own and use a personal smartphone as part of the job irks the heck out of me.

    But don’t forget guys, uploading your government IDs to any old fucking website to prove your age is very safe and protects children. There’s no way this could go wrong and everyone in the supply chain is very trustworthy

      The QR/one time code way makes a lot more sense and avoids this issue

          They’re already doing the verification and it’s not going away. I definitely prefer a better way to do it

            That “it’s not going away” attitude is the fucking problem…

            We should fucking fight it, either by good or by bad, because that defeatism is what they want, they want us to think that TINA, then, little by little, force ourselves to do things that at first would seem unacceptable to us.

              But in this case there’s already a lot worse system in place. Why not get a better system while also fighting the verification thing?

          Have the app you use to verify scan it so it can sanitize it

        How about we just don’t suck the dicks of authoritarian wannabe dipshits that have proven they can’t secure any information properly and can’t run any institution properly?

          I don’t know exactly what you mean, I just think for age gating there’s ways that are a lot better

            That’s the issue. We don’t need nanny’s to age gate us on the internet. All it does is create a very short path to removing anonymity on the internet

            Like parents actually parenting and activating the built in restrictions for their children’s devices?

    I don’t like it when a store scans my driver’s license to buy alcohol. I stick to small convenience stores without that tech.
