Just to be clear, Persona wasn't hacked, no data was breached/leaked, and no individuals were compromised. I get that posting about Persona generates a lot of views and engagement these days... but I do feel sharing the same story 4 times saying NEW or BREAKING over the span of a month is a bit too much. At some point, it's not breaking news anymore. At first, I thought this was a bot account, but then I saw that you are ID verified so I decided to write a longer response (and hope that I'm not being farmed by AI). Although I don't agree with all of your positions, I genuinely think some of your posts make good points about potential risks of digital IDs, especially if a government is not thoughtful in its implementation. However, I think fear-mongering as a means to generate attention for your cause is unproductive. Blending fact and fiction so cavalierly undermines trust (you can see this in some of the replies to this post). And I don't think fabricating conspiracies and fake stories does anything beyond just stoking chaos and pushing more polarization. In the worst case, this causes everyone to give up on engaging in good faith and to stop finding ways to improve the status quo. And despite your strong stance against digital IDs, I do believe that there is common ground that can be found which would make things better. Lastly, congress has not reached out to me in any capacity. That might be your wildest statement of all...
