This doesn't seem any more secure than broadcasting SHA256(phone number).

Don't spread misinformation.
Is the physical world going post-privacy? There's a future where every public space is live-streamed, 24/7 on the internet.
It's rather unfortunate that federated identity is always an afterthought instead of the default. Every new project could have been using OpenID Connect instead of rolling their own authentication. I really wish web frameworks pushed for this.
I suppose some of the blame lies with the identity providers. So many of them use a custom OAuth protocol instead of OIDC, which shifts the burden to the developers. Adding a new IdP should be as simple as adding a new trusted URL, instead it's often integrating a new SDK.
On the one hand, it's demoralizing that we've reached this point where misinformation spreads at the same rate as good information. On the other, it does seem like a decent way to expose predatory journals.
Could this method be extended to other fields?
As much as I dislike Apple, their ecosystem works for them and their users. Unfortunately the general public isn't aware of the restrictions imposed on them until it matters, like when their screen is broken and they can't pay $$$ for a first party repair.
We need regulation coining and enforcing accurate terminology for the relationship between vendors like Apple and Tesla, and their users. It's not ownership. If I can't run whatever software I want on hardware that I paid for, I don't own the hardware.
Can you imagine if your mattress didn't work with third party bed frames? Or pillows?
That said, because of how DRM works, I doubt the video data is available to any userspace applications.
Code released under such a license would not qualify as open source, but it could allow for individuals to maintain the software themselves. A license like the BSL could even be structured to transition the code to open source after some amount of time.
