• it won’t be for most users. it woll be for ones who opt out of optional / regulatory minimum data sharing, people connecting through VPNs, people using privacy focused browsers… basically the users they don’t have entirely profiled with metadata.

    by taking a few steps to adblock and maintain privacy, ive noticed i get a lot more verification"checkpoints" from websites that are basically built on data harvesting compared to people who take no precautions.

      Yes exactly. My computer and browser are very locked down. Encrytped DNS, VPN, Noscript, Librewolf, Linux, etc. Because of this I simply cannot use most major websites. They will block me from accessing until I provide an account linked to a real person. Which I refuse to do. I tried to make a burner facebook account recently to sell on marketplace and couldn’t do it because they wanted to scan my face, for example. I’m kinda just getting used to the idea that most of the internet is off limits to me now.
