What if you do not maintain such an established account (twitter, Insta, FB)? I do not understand this request.
What is this request supposed to do?
If someone sets up a hive account, then they are already in the possession of the different keys, aren't they? Why must they then confirm that they are who they are in advance/in general? Isn't that something which becomes only interesting in a case where someone already committed plagiarism/spam?
I would appreciate an explanation. Thank you.
P.S. I have read the given link of yours. Still, it does not make sense to me under this particular blog why you ask for verification since the blogger has posted quite a long story and pictures of himself. If you do not believe that its his pictures and his story from the outset, it really sounds strange that he shall give you reassurance ...?
@erh.germany , IMNSHO, What the pseudonymous @hivewatcher is requesting of me amounts to no less than privacy mining under a thinly veiled threat of duress, attempting to force one to relinquish their privacy.
I've had this account for a while now. made a few introductory posts, and after a time where I have actually chronicled the reasons for in my recent posts, returned again to attempt to publish articles of my choosing to share with others.
I think I'm going to have to state authoritatively in my profile here that from now on, all published works, unless I expressly state otherwise, are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, for my own protection. I often do not feel the need to do so but I come back after a few days because I was unable to post, boost, like, reply, or tip anyone, and find no less than two (so far) threatening letters to myself.
I WILL NOT remove the threatening posts by this person or role account - I want them to stand in perpetuity and will continue to link to it as an example reference of harrassment on the HIVE platform - not a good look, that bozo could have DM/PM'd me or contacted me via one of my official contact methods - All of which are readily available via my profile here.
To be certain, "tallship" is NOT even a pseudonym - it is a handle that I have used for decades! and I always make sure that there are easy breadcrumbs for anyone to follow so that they can contact me IRL - My actual legal name and even my business address are prominently, and publicly published, in case people need to reach me for contract network engineering or enterprise systems administration or to purchase hosting services from me.
I doubt that one could say the same for the person stalking me, and it prolly wouldn't be very good for them anyway considering how much they've pissed me off right now. They wanna publicly humiliate someone? I'm the WRONG person to harass. Bad decision. Very bad. They should remain pseudonymous under the auspices of their role account and leave this alone. Publicity can be a very bad thing and I'm actually a published author in several high profile and heavily trafficked news media outlets over that past few decades.
And if I wanna post pictures of myself god dammit that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Thank you for your concern. I myself indeed share those same concerns - No one should be forced to be privacy mined!
Sincerely,

That is actually a good idea.
It was easy to look up your blog and what you posted to see where you put up how one can get in touch with you.
Since Hive promotes itself to be a decentralized platform and censorship-resistant, these kinds of approaches are very irritating for a newcomer who is also here because he does not want to have accounts at fb, twitter, insta etc.
One cannot automatically assume that account holders are mainstream and should not communicate it that way if it is not to be at odds with other advertising. Professionalism dictates that it should be left open where someone maintains other accounts. Otherwise, the whole thing takes on the obviousness with which one must have a bank account in order to draw one's salary, for example. To be "other than that" is the proclaimed goal of the crypto people.
Well, you'll see how things go here if you stick with it long enough. Here, as elsewhere, conflicts are the order of the day. Not that there is nothing to learn from them, quite the opposite.
Assume that those who want to keep the role of plagiarism and verification processes in order here are not per se experienced people who have themselves run a company or a team before. It sometimes seems to me that they are inexperienced when it comes to this and learn by their mistakes (or so I hope).
Hello.
We not only deal with plagiarism or spam but also with identity theft/deception.
Since this account has used photos that show a certain person, we need to verify that no identity has been stolen.
Hive is being constantly abused with accounts that steal identities. Last week there were more than 50 confirmed identity thefts that were reported to us.
This account failed verification requests and the post looks like a copy of a post from some other platform. For example, it uses a lot of copied tags that have nothing to do with Hive tags.
@hivewatcher, "I", am that certain person in the photo to which you refer - it should be obvious to anyone reading the article about myself.
You have threatened me with coercion, attempting to force me to be data mined for my privacy and that borders on the criminal - it is illegal for you to compel someone to give you the keys to their private life - this is why the deprecated, monolithic silo systems like #Faceplant and #InstaSPAM are consistently in so much trouble. I'm not going to school you on current events, ignorance of them is no excuse on your part.
I came here to participate in a community of friendly people, but I'm not subjugated chattel either. The hashtags that I choose to use are ALWAYS relevant to the subject matter I am writing about.
You're efforts might be better spent on affecting easy support for accessibility (A11Y), such as easy alt image tag insertion for image files so that the less sighted numbering among us can more fully enjoy and participate themselves.
I'm going to say this just one time and then subpoenas will start dropping - leave me the fuck alone and do not darken my doorstep again. I will tolerate no further harassment from you. If official communication is needed - my contact methods are prominently published here in my profile, but have someone with considerably more tact and sensitivity do so, coz you're an asshat.
Good day.
