First they came for our shit post accounts, and I said nothing....
But she's fine with continuing the anonymous donations to all the PACs that fund her.
But that's different you see. Because money is speech and therefore needs to be protected, including by allowing total anonymity of donors. Whereas we're talking about online accounts, where people of course never engage in speech or express ideas. Hey, wait a second that can't be right. Hmmm, okay maybe it's because she's saying it's a security risk, because you don't know if they're a foreign national spreading propaganda online. This is totally different from political donations, which of course have never been bribes from foreign powers masked by anonymity... Hey wait! She got us again. Almost like she's some kind of shill who wipes her butt with the constitution while trying to create a crony supported facist state. No that can't be.
But yeah, according to Republicans, money is speech, but speech is not speech. I'm expecting their next campaign platform to be 2+2=5.
Republicans really hate privacy don't they. In 20 years theyre gonna ban bathroom doors so they can make sure the "right" people are in the "right" bathrooms.
Such a move would lead to an increase in “civility,” Haley believes. “When they know their pastor, their family members can see it, it's going to help our kids and it's going to help our country," she said.
That's what everyone said about posting next to your real name on Facebook. How did that turn out?
Pretty good, actually. It was nice of the traitors to upload pictures of themselves in the act on Jan 6.
Don't anybody tell her that the Fediverse exists. It might break her brain.
Can't touch this 😎
So how is she going to make them non-anonymous in a way that businesses can properly verify identity? Does every single social media site need to have its own ID analysis system for every state-ID? I mean that seems like it would be ridiculously hard.
For that to be practical, they'd need something nation-wide, and probably digital.
So, does she want to suggest to her fanbase a national digital ID? How would htat go?
To be fair, we all already use a national id with the social security numbers.
So pretty simply, the government would set up a SS number verification API, tech companies would call that, and use it to verify who you are.
It's a terrible idea and I hate it, but that's probably how it would work.
Fuck that. We need to move away from using SSN for literally every-fucking-thing
It's funny because the SS card explicitly states it shouldn't be used for identification purposes.
