Reddit CEO says facial verification may be introduced. Ostensibly to prevent bots.
But we all know how dangerous this can be. But most likely Reddit users will just accept it.

I wish more people would discover Lemmy, but that’s unlikely.
Yeah…that’s it…bots…you don’t want to associate all the post history and behavioral data with a real live person and connect whatever data you can find on the open data market with the same real person, collating everything the internet knows about a person into a single profile, destroying anonymity completely, ushering in a new age of Internet censorship and repression and aiding the identification of target groups for political and commercial exploitation? Nah…you wouldn’t want to do that, would you?
