Do you think Meta wouldn't want to be legally mandated to ask for your id? The improvement to ad targeting alone would be enough to pay for any lost users. They would probably want nothing more than to be in the same business as idema and the other online identity/age verification providers are.

Critically think about this for a second before believing some ChatGPT generated "OSINT" report on reddit. Otherwise, you'll allow corpos to use your mob hatered against you

I think that report has multiple issues, but it’s currently popular and people are fond of blaming meta.

Even your point - meta is not after mandated IDs, but they see the way public opinion is moving and are using it to their tactical advantage. They are lobbying to push the regulatory burden on app stores and operating systems.
