Are you ready to scan your government ID / face to access playstation and play your yearly marvel slop game?
https://hothardware.com/news/sony-age-verification-for-playstation
82% of sony's userbase is about to get locked out of a lot of features
No, I just won't bother, just like I won't for discord or any other service requiring it. People severely overestimate the importance of this shit in people's lives when they have to willingly throw their privacy away (cause that's what this is, none of these companies can protect your info)
Isn't a credit card enough to prove you're 18?
>>737418069No sorry. Need a full face and rectal scan so the government can tie your internet activity to your identity and squash the coming rebellions before they begin.
>>737418117What happens if I scan my dog's asshole instead?
Isn't this for the nanny state islands of the uk only where every company has to comply anyway?
Why is "age verification" forced so much lately?Even on porn sites you have show you ID if you're european.
Truly the cuckstation
>>737418195Nothing. The wonderful thing about all this being through third party services is that you can just say you're anyone at all and they have 0 way of verifying or confirming. They can demand you also upload an ID/passport I guess.
>>737418220de-facto internet passport
>>737418058To me it goes hand in hand with the fact that people use gaming and chatrooms to escape their work/society life as it is.So any attempts to surveil it turns these avenues into more government/work/society supervision, and then that gives the same feeling, and that alone is enough that people will abandon it.Whatever feels like it's controlling someone's life is enough that they'll want to escape it.
>>737418220since last year or two. you need a vpn to watch porn in florida otherwise they id you.
>>737418195Nothing, most of these "verification" services are run by 3rd worlders, you can use a fucking gary's mod model to pass it.
>>737417990good
>>737418254This. When you file your taxes now you have to subscribe to a digital ID directly with the government btw
>>737418220Informational sales. They can now put a name and direct face to all of the data they already harvest about your playtime, how long you hover over each item in the store, etc etc.
>>737418254But why? Internet used to mean freedom and anonymity.
>>737417990>snoyfagsSteamags, Tendies and Xfags also have to scan their ID.Anyone in the UK is cucked. Don't know why you'd focus on PSfags when the situation applies to everyone here.
>>737417990Why can't the parents just choose whether or not they're ok with Timmy playing games or using game features not aimed at children?
>>737418369woah woah woah woah, parents parenting? get the fuck out of here nazi bigot, the government does that for us
>>737418336I live in the UK and have the consoles and pc. Never had to do a verification for steam and despite xbox emailing me saying I'd have to do it i just ignored it and haven't lost any functionality. Ps will probably be the only ones who actually enforce this bs. We're talking about a company who blocked crossplay for years because they claimed it was to protect children.
NO ONE. WANTS TO GIVE THEIR ID.TO ISREAL.NO ONE. WANTS TO GIVE THEIR ID.TO PALANTIR/PERSONA.NO ONE. WANTS TO GIVE THEIR ID.TO PEDOPHILE BILLIONAIRES AND POLITICIANS.
>>737418058You severly overestimate how little people care about their privacy.
>>737418369it was never about protecting children anon. every time politicians appeal to muh children its only a convenient way to deflect criticismall of this is being shoehorned into our lives because of cuckold parents btw. i swear the world used to be fundamentally build for adults, now its the opposite. spineless parents are to blame
>>737418369>>737418446>Our solution to this problem is the thing that will never, ever happen>>Why wasn't the problem solved
>>737418494Actually the files give me hope that even if I were caught doing unspeakable crimes there's a good chance I won't have to answer for them as long as I'm rich.
>>737418318And then people made EU too big, and californiafags became communists.Big Government means Control. Your PlayStation and your internet is largely ran by corporations and non-profit. With more government you get more top-down control over everything we do in lives.And Trump isn't the guy who is causing this. It's much more european governments and commiefornia etc. that are doing this.I'm looking for jobs atm and just came back from a meeting. I refused a job offer they showed because it involved coding for Digital IDs and I said "I'm not... gonna do that" and she started being really inquisitive.>Why not?>Is it because of surveillance?And I said "Yes. I can see more and more cameras, and we're going from a MyID to Digital ID. If I could work somewhere to roll this back I would!">That's not going to happenAnd she shakes her head>There will only be more of it.I say "I know that, but I won't contribute to centralization of government.">I see.And she seemed like I was the first one who ever spoke negatively about this.
>>737418369Because the parents are OK with it. They’re using their freedom of choice incorrectly
>>737417990Bings would happily doxx themselves to wahoo.
>>737418308It has nothing to do with this. Age verification is required by several large states like UK.
>>737418025>pcADULT on the left
>>737418781And also...?I think it's just the UK in the west, and everyone calls them fucking crazy for it.
>>737418801It isn't. My country had EU Presidency last year and they fast-tracked a treaty called "Declaration of Jutland" which made all 27 EU member states sign on to do Age Verification and Digital ID before 2030.
>>737418472>Never had to do a verification for steamA matter of time> i just ignored it and haven't lost any functionalityYou probably did lose some but don't use those functions to begin with.Reminder that only communication functions will be limited. If you're a friendless loser you won't notice anything different.>We're talking about a company who blocked crossplay for years because they claimed it was to protect childrenNo they blocked it for years because they were the top dog and didn't want any other platform to profit from their massive install base.Any other publicly traded game company would do they same if they were the market leader.
>>737418854The new age verification app? That thing will be optional for citizens to use, the government just has to offer it.
>>737418559>You severly overestimate how little people care about their privacyIs it true?
>>737418893I lost zero functionality and the only reason I use xbox in the first place is to play with friends who are on xbox so I use xbox live and xbox party chat which still work fine without any verification. If sony enforce this shit I'd rather just sell the console because I play 95% of games on pc anyway.
>>737418058You're a tiny minority sadly but yeah giving out your ID to a company known for constant hacking leaks is fucking retarded
>>737418058>>737418559The laws which protect privacy and personal information are very strict and not to be fucked with.
>>737418893>>737419071As for defending shitty practices like blocking crossplay, take sonys dick out of your arse.
>>737418058>implying the overwhelming majority of people cares>implying they don't consider you weirdEven if they had someone steal their data elsewhere before they will do it again.
>United KuckdomWho gives a shit?
>>737418058Normiefaggots will all give their IDs like they gave away their foreskins
>>737418318thats anti semitic..
>>737419071>>737419119Sell the thing and move on faggot. You've already made up your mind anyway. Might as well just get it over with.
>>737417990Why can't parents just watch what type of media their children consume? It's their fault. My mom occasionally watched me play GTA SA at 9 years old and didn't say anything about it.
>>737419016It's optional until it isn't. They're already saying it won't be in future.
>>737418271It's intentionally easy to break right now so they can mark anyone who doesn't comply.
>>737418058what you gonna do then? Do you understand they want to force this on everything right? Many states in American are even about to pass a law you have to verify age to use Windows OS, in many states they already even banned porn! In many EU countries you can't even use Steam or Youtube without verifying age first.People needed to oppose this shit from the start but the mass immigration pretty much killed all cohesion, which makes it hard to organize. It is over. This was their purpose all along. Eventually all your data will be fed to Datacenters and Ai will stalk your every move.
>>737419061Well I noticed some parts of the world don't care much. In USA for example people let Elon Musk get his hands on all private citizen data and records for who knows what uses and muricans were completely okay with it. Same with constant surveillance and the whole "doorcam to find lost foggies" thing and palantir shit in general.I can tell you for a fact that some muricans will come here and defend it as a completely normal thing. "You shouldn't worry if you don't have anything to hide" logic etc. muricans often use.
>>737418058>>737418559this is the sad truth. normies go by the "if i cant see them they cant see me" logic so they wont feel that their privacy is violated until someone physically pops their head into their room while theyre jerking it.
>>737419016You are so fucking naive (and I mean everyone who talks like you) that it actually gets my blood rising to the top of my head.I don't even mean that as an insult, I'm just frustrated that this could be genuinely prevented if people didn't trust their governments or the EU so fucking much.Same with loserleftists cheering on that Pedro Sanchez PM when he cries about the war in Iran. He makes it sound like he's thinking about "all the people" when he calls it a mistake, but the real thing he's saying between the lines is this:>We are distressed that our 2030 Sustainable Development plan is being disrupted by prematurely cutting off the oil supply, please reopen Hormuz!He's literally the same guy that showed up at WEF and said "I propose a permanent end to online anonymity with a Digital ID." and likened it to people walking around with masks in public.We have to go all the way back to 2014 and relearn where we came from and how we got here:>KEEP POLITICS OUT OF GAMES>POLITICIANS ARE NOT BETTER THAN CORPORATIONS.And we're about to learn that the hard way. Every blue-haired nose-ring foid and every white-dyed monkhair hipster is about to find out over the literal upcoming 70 years what it meant to give so much trust and power back to governments.And let's not pretend there's not a wave of millenials who are openly advocating for communism:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad-skW0SWeE
>>737418265i watch russian porn from russian domains. someday i should vpn to florida to see if this concerns me . it is possible that a lot of these laws are just for western companies and the east is immune.
becoming South Korea would probably save MP games
>>737419863Nah. Digitalization and Governance is global. Even Russia has said they're gonna do more of it.
>>737419863>"The east is immune"That's the best joke in this thread so farBetter do your research what Japan, worst Korean and Singapore are doing in their own countries for years and in Latham Brazil and Argentina, there is no escape if people don't start a counter movement, YESTERDAY
>>737417990Fucking idiots it will backfired on their ass, people hate bullshit like this.
>>737418220Advertising.Social media companies like Meta and Twitter are lobbying governments for these Online ID laws because AI has made it almost impossible to discern who's a real user and who isn't. But if you have a digital ID attached to all your online accounts then they know you're a real person that can be advertised to.
>>737419720Of course politicians are better than corporations are you retarded?
>>737420243Can't wait to see Sony pulling out of the gaming market due issues like this because people stop using their products which enforce this, and then you will see glowie headlines like "it wasn't rentable anyway because the market got weaker or other disingenuous crap" and then people post those dramatic headlines on Xitter and here you will see
Will all this age verification lead to a resurgence of adult book stores? European neighbourhoods around railway stations are about to get a big economic boost.
>>737420165still they are slow.
>>737418069Its very strangeThey already have my full government name and address, and a debit card also with those details, even here in the yookay that's enough for a gambling website to background check you and verify you are 18+
>>737420353They will become "the new manga/Hentai" Magazine Distributors ,kek
How many times has snoy been hacked now? 4 times at least I think. Better give them MORE personal info.
>>737420431forgot to add my pic
>>737418220Every country on Earth suddenly all decided at the same time that protecting kids from the internet by requiring everyone to submit IDs was important at coincidentally the exact same time that social media was full of people posting evidence of Israel's war crimes.
>>737418220It's somehow easier to do this than take away kids' smartphones. Please think of the children!
>>737420353No. It'll just be like china where you need to be well connected or wealthy to get a vpn to bypass the great firewall and all the plebs have to make do with risqué exercise videos and softcore gatcha games.
>>737417990>required for voice chat and messagesGood day to be a single-player chad.
>>737418058>buy console as luxury item>not many games to begin with>some of those will ask for your IDindieslop and spider-man is all i'll have...
>>737417990>nintendies after they defend id scans when nintendo introduces it
>>737420535the children-eating elitists noticed a drop in meat quality in their food so they want to id their food before eating it... just like you wouldn't want to eat processed meat made of cockroaches
>>737418058oh no don't go zoomer your constant stream of bruh and bros will be irreplaceable
>>737418369you can't force parents to actually parent... they were already forced by society to actually become parents or else they'd be shamed... stop being insensitive
>>737419016everything is optional for a while untill it isn't bro...
>>737420292>of course corporation-pawn is better than corporation are you retarded?
>>737417990>OP>retardtypicaltoo bad you're slow with your shitty bait and everyone already knows it's only for voice and text chat which barely anyone uses
>>737420193>Hello comrade, we see you've been enjoying your shooters! Please select an option below to sign up for the army or decline.>You have selected "no", meaning "no, I choose not to decline." Welcome to the army, son!
>>737420447Actually this, you just cant trust Sony of all places with your personal info, they have a pretty bleak history on this.
>>737421365Cope harder snoy
>>737419493Personally, I'm going to stop using any service that asks for anything, it's that simple.It's not like anyone's going to die just because they're not using useless online services.
>>737422174>Lemme be miserable because I don't want to protect children.
>>737421365nobody is defending it here.
>>737421934it's slippery slope
I let the delivery driver for my weed gummies take a picture of my ID because he said he needed toAm I retarded
>>737422342Very.
>>737422342You are protecting children, that's a smart and good thing to do!
>>737422380>>737422389but he said i needed to do it because of the value of the orderam i supposed to argue with a delivery guy and make his life hard
>>737422465>trusting a rando with your goverment ID>everyour a fucking idiot you should of told him to fuck off.
>>737421934>Only for...You're a kike
>>737421745not all politicians are pawnsall corporations are evil
>>737417990Doesn't Sony have a proven track record of having customer data leak? Surely it isn't safe to give them your ID.
>>737422174You realize it'll be required for online banking right? They will restrict your access to your money
>>737417990PC MASTER RACE
>>737417990When this becomes mandatory for everyone and the console makers makes it so you have to register to even set up a new console, then watch the Retro market prices sky rocket even more... Everyone will go to retro machines instead.
>>737422106>>737420447Literally EVERY country that added Virtual IDs already had a hack leaking the information. (the media obviously does not want to talk about it)What is the difference if SONY leaks them?The leakers are most likely the same people pushing the IDs, with data going directly to corporations. This is by design. Its a feature not a bug.
>>737422607it's a 21+ purchasethey have to ID you for it to be delivered like alcohol I know you're underage but try to learn how the world works
>>737422980yeah but you should only have to show it not let the guy take a photo.
>>737422671But my bank only let me open my account because I registered my fingerprint there. The whole point is to prevent someone anonymous from accessing my account and withdrawing my money...The problem now is that they want to make sure I can't anonymously jerk off to hentai either.
>>737422667Yeah a ton of people have had their emails and baking stuff leaked due to sony>>737422961the funnest part is about this all is fuck tards like starmer are begging for parents to force their kids to use that crap, which means it doesn't even work as protecting the kids (which it never was for, obviously)
>>737423078I've had two different delivery guys from the same place say they needed a picture of the ID next to the product
>>737422750#PedosArePeopleToo
>xbox is doing it>sony is doing>countries are trying to force pc operating systems to do itWe are becoming increasing cucked, lads. Thank you Brazil and the UK!!!!
palantir is facillitating this push for anonimity erasure and is the mark of the beast
>>737423832It always amazes me how companies can have obviously evil names and nobody cares. "Palantir" is only step away from calling it "Morgoth Ltd." or something.
>>737423669get ready to be arrested for wrong think and social credit scores all because zuckerberg wanted a quick buck.>>737423832Well that and people started calling out a certain country.
>>737422209>I don't want to protect children.Yeah, I'm sure people that refuse to disclosure names of pedophiles in the government have well being of my children as their top priority lmao.
>>737422209Yet you trust the people who protect pedofiles and criminals that only do things for money and power, still waiting on that unredacted epstien list by the way.
