    The VA has been using this service for years. Signing up kinda sucked, but since then, it's fine.

    As someone who has recently had several fraudulent applications for government benefits from my identity, I'm not all that upset with the involvement of id.me. Obviously, I can see this becoming a voting issue, which will be terrible. But, I think it's fine for anything short of voting.

    I rather enjoyed the conversation I witnessed on another site where it devolved into a bunch of oblivious assholes complaining about 400k annually barely being enough to feel “comfortable” and classified themselves as middle class

    I mean not sure what you do if you don't have access to a phone or computer but overall its super easy. Take a picture of ID, take a picture of yourself.

    It's all so damn lazy. I bet if you asked randoms on the street to name a couple of things in the John Lewis bill, maybe 2 or 3(?) in 10 could give an answer.

    The D party/WH/Congress could have a few interns sit around all day creating informative images/gifs that could be tweeted out 24 hours a day. Every influential D could tweet/retweet (or Facebook/Instagram) the images of the day. They could drive a nat'l conversation on social media. But alas..

    well, and good. Why should ordinary people follow this? Them being invested or aware won’t change the function of the system. It’s sicko shit. Following politics like we do is for crazy people, because none of it depends on our awareness or engagement. It’s not for us.

    stopping spoofing/spamming is very difficult. Phone companies spend a shitload of resources on telemarketing calls. Spam texts don’t work exactly like telemarketing and present different challenges

    I will say for a long time the phone companies didn’t want to deal with this at all and pretty much said we can’t block bad calls but the fcc changed that several years ago

    well a couple of problems. So say you’re a large company with thousands of numbers that make customer service calls. You want the number that shows up on the caller ID to be the main customer service line of the company because one poor guy in india can’t handle thousand of directly dialed calls. Walgreens auto dials you to tell you your prescription is ready, they want the number that shows up to be the number to the store, not the number of the auto dialer. Point being there are legitimate uses of spoofing.

    Second in order to pass along authentic calls that’s why they came up with STIR/SHAKEN. However telemarketers just realized they could lease thousands of registered numbers from wholesalers and they just make calls with legally obtained numbers. When the phone companies shut down a number or numbers, they just lease a bunch of new numbers

    this is the part that im referencing would need to go away

    you make the actual company hold the license for the number as opposed to a company who just buys them all and leases them bc a spam company will always just use another random number to get beyond you blocking that previous number and if you were to limit the range on what they own or use, it would cut down significantly on the number of phone numbers they could have/use

    i'm not saying it's easy to solve or that it would solve all of it

    but companies who just buy up thousands of numbers is a big part of the issue

    I have a friend who runs a merch company and they used a bot hotline like "text merch to 727-727 for updates" and they recently were forced to switch to using an actual phone number for the service bc the bot service was in another country and that service got shut down

    I don’t think you understand how easy it is to make a company or to disguise who owns a company. Most companies aren’t leasing numbers to known bad actors

    which is a fair point but that's also part of the problem that allows the leasing to exist (which is my larger point)

    like I said, I dont think it's an easy fix but there is a way to that end game but it would take work
