I don’t know how all these tech companies keep making obviously stupid and immoral decisions like this.

“We need someone to process our emails.”

“Oh well we have two options. This one costs a hundredth of a cent less per email, but they also run their machines on the blood of children and they ritualistically sacrifice minorities as part of their business model.”

“You said a hundredth of a cent? Perfect!”

I think you answered your own question. To expect them to do anything other than what will increase their wealth is naïve. Anything that seemed like a "moral" thing that they did in the past simply happened to be more convenient.

Yeah, I suppose so. It just sucks that it seems like every single company is run by a monster.

Only people who are okay with being monsters are allowed to take and keep those roles. That's capitalism, baby.

Discord needs to distance itself from age verification itself.

Still worth migrating away since they've gone public a bunch of villains sit on the board who'll look to profit off your data.

tl;dr "Discord told Kotaku its work with Persona was part of a “limited test” which has since been concluded."

. They will still use palantir. This is a pr maneuver

[–] madjo@piefed.social 7 points 4 hours ago

Oh sure... I wonder what other Palantir front they will do business next.

I’m glad I clicked off a service that required Persona verification.
