Public

So, another day, another leak of 70000 people's government IDs, from Discord this time.

It seems to me that websites shouldn't be *allowed* to collect personal information unless it is absolutely necessary (an address so that they can delver a package). But we instead seem to be moving in the opposite direction with Governments around the world demanding that various websites collect ID for age verification. This is bad.

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users

As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.
