Teachable Moment: All is fair in love and war
This strikes at the root justification for ID verification online: the idea that it makes anyone at all safer. The tight intermingling of our real-world identities with the digital world has been a disaster for privacy and safety as a whole. The apathetic refrain “[they] can get everything anyways” says a lot more when “they” isn’t just intelligence agencies, but scammers and vindictive people online.
