> Also coming soon: negative assertions (a way to say “you won’t find me on Twitter!”)…
How would negative assertions work for something like Twitter? Are you checking that they do not own a Twitter account or are you checking that they do not own Twitter?
I'd assume the former. I can see that being pretty handy to assert e.g. "anyone claiming to be me on Twitter is lying".
Negatively asserting ownership of something has very few ways to be used maliciously. The only scenario i can think of is pretending you aren't the guy spewing racist shit on twitter when in reality you are but even that has very limited impact and is quite contrived
Probably the former. So positively asserted @jack on Instagram can assert that he is not @jack on Twitter if the Twitter user is trying to claim to be the Instagram @jack.
I love omg.lol. Brings me back to the simpler times of the internet.
