#TBOT 23: KYC for Your Phone, New ReCAPTCHA, UK Digital ID, Decentralized Social Media - NOSTR

Here are this week’s stories:

Bye Bye Burner Phones?: A new FCC rule threatens to end phone anonymity by demanding IDs when getting a phone number. Why? To stop robocalls. We only have 7 days to comment, so let’s look at their featherbrained reasoning and strategize a pushback.

reCAPTCHA Hypocrisy: Google’s new reCAPTCHA was just pushed to 14 million websites. This new version uses a QR code that must be scanned by your phone.

UK Digital ID to Work: The King and UK government are moving forward with Digital ID even after public outcry and a petition. Is it still going to be required to work? Yes, in a way.

Decentralized Social Media with Nostr: I tried a new social media platform and liked it. Nostr is a protocol, not a platform, and it shines at social media.
