Yes, except you give that card to all sorts of people, right? So it is really private? Identifying, yes, but private?

I'm sorry but I'm not following your point. I'm questioning whether the info on a license is really "private info". I am not suggesting that people be forced to give Twitter their ID

I think you may have added a "not" to my comment that isn't there. I am in full agreement with you.

Well, the law itself (I just looked it up) focuses entirely on race. I don't see how it even applies to the scenario in the OP.

From hearing you describe it, I am pretty sure I saw the headlines. Something along the lines of "the GOP doesn't think people of different races can be friends".

It seems that the law in question is pretty focused on not making white people feel uncomfortable about racism.

I haven't read the book in question, but I'm pretty confident the gist of the lesson is "it's okay for people to be different". What kind of broken person sees that message and says "no it's not"?

For reference, fifth graders are usually around 10 or 11 years old. Gifted or not they're almost certainly intelligent enough for this topic.

According to the article, there is a law that restricts teaching "divisive concepts". That batshit insane. "Divisive" doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

That's not any working definition of private information I've ever seen.

We're talking about privacy in the context of information security.

Edit: for context, I'm not questioning whether people must give their ID to Twitter.

Can you elaborate? What makes an ID number unable to be disclosed? What is the point of identification that you can't show?

[–] joe 0 points 2 years ago

I think this may be closer to the reality of the situation. It's not so much that IDs are private, it's that people want their Twitter (X?) account to be anonymous.

I get that. My username on Twitter was my real name so I kinda messed that up right away. I didn't really use it though.

I can't speak definitely, but I'm pretty sure it's been made illegal to have your driver's license ID be a derivative of your SSN. That was a thing that happened though.

But I can't tell if you're pointing this out to strengthen my stance, or weaken it. It's still something that gets scanned to get into a bar or buy alcohol, and that's effectively the public, right?
