Topic	Actor Idris Elba says 'ID' should be required to make a Social Media Account...
Zeus 07/20/21 2:24:47 PM #14:	Well, he's British so... he's probably not used to the ideas of freedom or anonymity. However, it's funny at a time when people are balking at IDs being used needed for voting, you have some moron who wants IDs for social media accounts. So instead of just having the same problems you have now, you'd be adding identity theft on top of it. Imagine the fun you might have when a ISIS supporter, Antifa member, or white supremacist impersonates you online -- because they either get banned under their own name or don't want to use theirs -- and then you're stuck dealing with the consequences of their actions. Having already been stuck having to address the lies and harassment campaigns started by a certain malicious misinformer, I think this is a stupid, fucking idea. Beyond that, it sounds like way to leverage violence and intimidation to stifle online discussion, which could be the real agenda here. EvilMegas posted... My first and last name have been a string of topics on this board for a decade. I don't give a shit if any of you goobers know who I am lol Well, you might feel differently if you had psychos from this and other boards threatening your life at times (and Gamefaqs has done exactly dickall about most of those threats). EvilMegas posted... Edit: I got an auto mark for the word Yeah, their auto-censor is still the worst. It also takes forever to find where the system randomly connected the dots. Clench281 posted... Kody's username Oh right, I knew it was something like that. Honestly, why the fuck does Gamefaqs let somebody sign up with a name that pings their auto-filter? This site is so backwards. ParanoidObsessive posted... Requiring real identity to MAKE an account, but not requiring that info to be shown to the public, would theoretically be a good idea (because then people who make criminal statements or use accounts to encourage criminal actions could be identified by legitimate law enforcement agencies via contacting the site admins to ask for the info)... except for the fact that someone would inevitably find a way to hack the data and either dox the shit out of people they disagree with, or blackmail people by threatening to reveal their info. And keep in mind that trolls often get banned, so they'd need a new ID for their new accounts. When that doxxing does occur, it could impact somebody who's never even used the site. streamofthesky posted... Horrible idea. There's crazy fucks out there who will hunt someone down just because they said something the crazy person didn't like. This so hard. Of course, a wealthy, privileged elite asshole like Idris Elba doesn't have to worry about anything like that, since he likely has security. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:956284312] in Actor Idri...
