Having a stable persistent gallery is pretty necessary if all you've got is fast-lived socials like this here. You can also ramble longer thoughts into the descriptions P:

It's not the service that raises this as concern to me. It's the advertisement industry and attached surveillance industry. That data is insanely valuable to profile and police people with. It is worth actual money and readily being sold without regulation or oversight. I prefer remaining anonymous.

Yes. And I am fully onboard with the basic concept.
I want kids out of my areas of the internet.

I am 110000% opposed to the anonymity-destroying, privacy-violating technically inept cheapskate ways of them doing it though. There *are* better ways, all of our ID cards can already do this digitally!

What if it's not the video, but a hash of your face biometrics, sufficient to identify you.

A small blip of data that won't really stand out a lot in the noise of their usual telemetry+tracking that leaves your device?

Or just a derivative, like a few bits that encode your haircolor and skintone.

I mean why wouldn't they. Corporations and governments are just like people, once they see an excuse they'll just do it too.
"BUT THEY DID IT FIRST, not our fault!"

This seems somewhat of a hybrid of a forum and a chat platform, could be something that works with people... hmmm.

Yes I'll send a few men with rifles Imean paperwork to your place, definitely not Agent 47 or 48, no no

Easy, by closing your eyes. That'll be 10 dollars advisory fees

They'll get a box of tissues and condoms and a brochure telling them how to clean up the floor plating >:V

Stumps seem a bit uncomfy... he should try a hollowed-out tree trunk instead!

It is slightly frosted glass with a fashionable company logo on it. Please. What happens in the next room is none of your business, recruit!

If they can keep their cock in their pants during the job interview, they might have a future career waiting for 'em!

Quite legit one of the first pics of yours that I had seen back in the day. Still got the old pic with this fella in one of my folders and encounter it now and then ~
