Age verification laws are pushing platforms to collect sensitive data like facial scans & official IDs, compromising #privacy for everyone.

These measures not only risk #identity theft and stalking but also fail to protect children effectively.

We need smarter solutions, not invasive surveillance.

@dave_andersen @AVincentInSpace personally I consider any "#KYC" a risk-factor, and @signalapp has proven their ability and willingness to restrict functionality (i.e. their #Shitcoin-#Scam #MobileCoin) based off said #PhoneNumbers (Cuban, Russian and North Korean Numbers were excluded) which are in fact #PII (even if one doesn't have to #ID for obtaining a #SIM, they are circumstantial PII)...

  • They have neither "legitimate interest" nor legal mandate to collect said data (or to integrate a scammy Shitcoin for that matter) as the discontinuation of #ChatSecure / #TextSecure has eliminated the "technical necessity" to have those.

Either way they either have to yeet #Hegseth as client and/or stop collecting PII like PhoneNumbers - they gotta have to do something

#ITsec is a different story, but unlike #Signal these do not depend on a #PhoneNumber and work through @torproject / #Tor.

  • And I've been using Tor for almost 15 years daily now...

Wann endlich werden in der Schweiz nichtbinäre Personen als solche wahrgenommen, indem sie ihre geschlechtliche Identität auf offiziellen Papieren ausweisen können?

Ein Jahr nach Nemos Sieg des Eurovision Song Contest warten wir auf Signale aus Bundesbern.

Aber die reaktionären Kräfte dort geben bekanntlich alles, um Fortschritt zu verhindern.

@nixCraft actually this screams "#GDPR & #BDSG violation" so loudly that even demanding #PII and espechally an #ID should get them sued by @noybeu and @Bundesverband ....

  • Cuz "#OpenAI" has neither "legitimate interest" nor a mandate to even demand to see an ID, much less to store and process it!

This isn't like a contractual agreement or some finance where one could argue "#KYC" is warranted "to combat #fraud"...

  • The only thing worse I've seen is some obscure company that brokers #bandwith with a hidden #proxy feature in #apps...

Hey #fediverse, it's been a while now that I'm looking for this 🔥 #house #track that #pingu likes so much. Really hope that I'm connected to the right bubble of #musicnerds who can help me find the track #id. If anyone knows good #groups that this post should travel to, please do mention them. Thanks!
