      To be honest, I’d trust the second option more from a privacy perspective simply because they’re already using public information directly and not involving an additional third party verification service.

        When they say we value your privacy what they mean is they will extract value from your privacy.

      Yeah wtf, is this real or one of those programmer joke mockups? I am torn on whether I find this useful or not. They could just do this automatically but I guess they would miss out on some juicey selfies then.

    This isnt really enshittification, they aren’t doing it for shareholder value, they are being forced to by various shitty governments.

        I dont think that is either tbh, no part of that is a change to drive shareholder value. Its weird, sure, but not enshittification.

      The “We value your privacy” line really is the slogan of the tech world for these times. Keep seeing it everywhere so it must be true
