Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform:

I question the legitimacy of Google to keep us safe, when their Worksheets are being rampantly abused by hackers: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/google-sheets/hacked.html

That's just how it works on mastodon

It’s obnoxious, especially when it’s a three word post. Also, that exact same user has replies to people on Mastadon instances themselves where they didn’t tag when replying, so idk about that just being how it is. Seems like some arbitrary bullshit that could just stop.
