LLMs are LYING search engines. You can search for real world branding or IP and get it. Just like google.

People care more about gorging on internet slop than they do about protecting their identity.
Mostly I'm just fkn sad that we know the answer about online ID verification.

The stereotype of "not on insta or facebook" is your conservative boomer grandpa who keeps to himself cause of his 'views'
