    Let’s not do anything about the unregulated technology that can spread lies faster than ever before as websites get absolutely flooded with believable bots that outnumber the actual users. Let’s make secret passwords and handshakes like we’re in a clubhouse.

    Regardless, it’s not a bad idea since it’s probably not gonna get better for awhile if at all.

      The technology is out. While something should be done on that side of things, it also doesn’t remove the technology from existence - you will still need other protections.

    HA HA HA fellow humankind member. This has given me a pointer to a disk location of a friend back in university

    Lol but seriously, back in uni a friend of mine got their social media hacked. The hacker was trying to beg for money and such. One person got suspicus and asked what their favorite beer was, so the scammer texted me “hey what is my favorite beer?”

    Fortunately the account got locked for some reason, so no money was stolen. Bro still has not recovered it.

    I mean close family members will recognise if it’s you so they’ll have to contact someone else which mostly likely will find through Facebook or other platforms. Still this still seems like a way to make people even more unique between them.
