        anywhere were a substantial enough number of people start adopting it; if i had a farm, i’d bet on it.

    Who would go through all the trouble to install GOS, to take back their privacy… just to give it all up with an app like yoti?

      Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. We should be encouraging people to switch even if the level of privacy they want doesn’t match our own.

      Without giving too much info, I had to use it as part of a legal process a while ago, it’s what the solicitors use to verify ID so I didn’t really have a choice but to use it. But my thinking about using things like GrapheneOS etc. isn’t necessarily to be 100% anonymous online, it’s more to just minimize the amount of info they can get out of me.

    I think people aren’t reading too well into this. I think this is a massive failure on Yoti’s side that will just discredit their trustworthiness and reliability. What’s the “authorities” (police I guess?) gonna do when they start receiving a bunch of random citizens reported that have NOTHING to be reported for?

    Eventually they’ll have to learn to just ignore Yoti’s reports…or at least take them rather…not seriously, to begin with.

      They’re already being ignored. The point is to have the report in the archive for when you want it in the future.
