Not really. More post civil rights era policies through the bank secrecy and anti money laundering act in order to maintain a drug war for decades and having to build identification and risk software around that.

But sure complain about tech and its dystopian pornography and get your heroin level dopamine hit rather than being informed in your speech.

Having a checkmark is kind of important. It helps prevent scams. I think Zuckerberg is also using this to further implement KYC on its platform since banking and fintech has always been hovering implementation in the meta ecosystem.

I always felt that that was a huge mistake by Twitter. They sold checkmarks but didn’t deepen identity when it was probably the easiest time ever to convince users to register with KYC on a social network.

KYC btw is Know Your Customer, a process that fintechs and banks go through from a regulatory POV to have users add banking and financial services onto their apps.

They aren’t monsters, they’re still our people. You’re blaming the tree instead of the forest that is the US illicit drug demand and the way the US strategically suppresses Latin American economies.

It’s ignorance like this that keeps this system going. Instead of asking what are they doing that’s wrong, you ought to ask why that’s happening.
