run by stickermule.com ...?

edit: oh wow, you weren't kidding w/ the "requires ID". Passport, work permit, driver's license or similar needed to post!

This is all just a way to collect a whole bunch of personal information and sell it for the ~~highest bidder~~ sorry I meant "Trusted vendors", isn't it?

Alternately:

A new social platform that allows anonymous posting, but is entirely "opt-in" (meaning that posts are not public and can only be read by subscribers).

People could use it to socialize with their friends and family instead of strangers/bots. It would not get engagement from anger, nor would it be monetized by selling private information.

We could call this social network iMessage, WhatsApp, or perhaps Telegram. Just spitballing here.

Before we push for no-anonymity internet and full ID social networks, we need to ban tracking and data collection without explicit, physically written, contractual consent (paid, my data is not free), and the data should not be hosted on some foreign land, and whenever the company needs to peek into it, they need to ask me first, with the reasons

Until then no thank you
