You can cry “Oh, but then you’re trusting a corporation with your data” and like, first off, it can be a non-profit. Also, what are you doing with your ISP? The browser you use? The websites you visit? Every step of the way you’re trusting some corporation with your data - there’s no getting away from that.
When something used to not be required shifts to now being asked of by even nonessential sites to more easily link to an actual ID I’m not as open to just handing it over as you are.
Your line of thinking falls along the lines of people who chose to verify with discord, so nothing is really an issue to you. So trying to convince people like me to fall into your line of thinking is going to take more effort.
Palantir is a corporation and independent entity after all. And non profit isn’t some bullet proof protection.

This is a bad take. All of it.
Cool, thanks for the notes, alternatives, and ideas. Critical thinking on full display here.
Guess we’ll just have to keep dealing with the weaponization of misinformation in the rise of LLMs all on our own.
I’m sure the undereducated will be just fine and utopia is just around the corner.
I promise you’ll be ok if you think about it for just a little bit longer.
