SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT A LOT LATELY IS HOW PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT GOVERNMENT ID IS THE ONLY KYC, BUT EVEN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN EMAIL COULD ID YOU REALLY EASILY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN EMAIL WITH CONPANIES LIKE GOOGLE, ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS BE LIKE HEY GOOGLE, WHO'S ACCOUNT IS THIS AND THEY WOULD BE BUSTED FAST. WHICH IS WHY THINGS LIKE NOSTR ARE SO SPECIAL, THE KEYS AREN'T LINKED TO ANY ID UNLESS A USER CONNECTS IT THEMSELVES.

YES.
PHONE NUMBERS ARE PARTICULARLY PREDATORY. ESPECIALLY WHEN PLATFORMS, INCLUDING X, BLOCK PRIVACY FOCUSED VOIP PROVIDERS.
YES, THIS IS ALSO TRUE, ANYONE CAN LOOK UP YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF CLOAKED? IT'S A SERVICE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE YOU MORE PRIVACY ONLINE BY GENERATING FAKE EMAILS, PHONE NUMBERS, AND EVEN CREDIT CARDS. BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A FREE TOOL WHERE YOU CAN SEARCH YOUR PHONE NUMBER, I WAS SHOCKED WITH HOW EASILY IT PULLED MY INFO UP.
People underestimate Elon’s business connections to the Military Industrial Complex
Speed wallet is prompting me to verify my phone number
Why? It can doxx me
YEAH, I USED TO LIKE SPEED WALLET, BUT THEN THEY WENT ALL KYC, AND NOT JUST THAT BUT THEY LOCKED ME OUT OF MY ACCOUNT AND SATS IN THERE TILL I VERIFIED. LUCKY IT WASN'T A LOT AND I COULD JUST SAY SCREW THIS AND DELETED IT.
