Pls I beg you do not give your ID to the Online Company. It doesn't matter which one it is, discord or YouTube or Tumblr or whatever site you would hate to lose: Do. not. do. It.
Lie and cheat and vpn and draw pictures with mustaches, do whatever else you want, but if the only option is give over your ID or quit using the site/service YOU NEED TO CHOOSE BEING A QUITTER. HIT DA BRICKS. SAYONARA TO THE WEEABOO SHITS.
Hacks and identity theft are only the *current risks* for this surveillance and invasion of privacy. Do NOT be someone that gets caught in the riptide when New Fascist Risks are added to the pile.
It will suck if all our fave sites and apps get cut off from us for this, but eventually new places will pop up because people are people, communities are communities. When the zoo burns down, the animals will find new places to graze and build new enclosures for our enrichment.
Do not let them tag and bag you in the name of clinging to convenience and familiarity.
