@_elena has written a blog about her opposition to it:

Personally, I think it is a marketing stunt by a startup who is not interested in actually solving the problem. I may be cynical though.

@hans it is indeed fully based on ATProto which means: everything is public. People can easily see the accounts anyone is blocking, which has potential for abuse.
In addition, requiring government IDs to sign up isn’t really my idea of “privacy focused.”
Moreover:
They completely plagiarized the concept behind Eurosky… mere days before its launch. Only difference: requiring IDs.
I’ll cover this and more in an article this week…
