Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.
Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.

@paco@infosec.exchange I don’t understand why operating system developers aren’t required to implement age verification. Apple, Microsoft, and Google could coordinate a standard that passes age group data to websites without revealing identities. It makes no sense for every app or site to handle this alone. Linux and Firefox users could use Google’s web service linked to their accounts. Problem solved. Everyone wins. Only these companies have the security scale to manage threats in real time.

@paco It’s never about children or safety, it’s about control (so they don’t give a sh.t about breaches).

@paco isnt it the platform @GrapheneOS goes to with their support channel? Great! Lest FOSS/DeGoogle communities go more into another data mess company!

@paco This is why I don't use Big Tech and why I can't trust anything that relies on third-party stuff.
And why do they keep the ID photos?! If this must be done right, upload > verify > delete. Not upload > verify > keep. Idiots!!!
