@Em0nM4stodon except for Pearson-Vue, where you pretty much have no choice
@Em0nM4stodon (except, avoid biometrics by going to some random company holding the training instead of to an official centre of theirs)

Do not comply.
Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.
This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.
This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

We need to boycott any platforms that request personally identifying information. They won't stop doing it until we hit them where it hurts - in the wallet.@Phracker2Art @Em0nM4stodon “but my friends are there” well, get more and better friends.

can we make this the hashtag when referring to things?
or would something like #IDBackdoor, or #PrivacyBackdoor make more sense to the average person on the street?
either way, the point is, #ageverification sounds way too nice for what it actually entails in practice and #deanonymization sounds too posh
actually #LegalBackdoor makes more sense, because these laws are unironically a security issue that forces admins to adopt questionable security practices that are then exploited by crackers.
(then again, if that happened, the governments could also have admins on the hook for bad data management if a breach happened...)

@Em0nM4stodon Just do not do so.
No system is safe. No one guarantees privacy and data keep. -

@codinghorror @Phracker2Art @Em0nM4stodon Or give them somewhere else to go.

@Em0nM4stodon And absolutely lie when asked for invasive, potentially compromising information like date of birth.

Too many people chose to stay on Twitter after Elon Musk took over, because all their friends were on that platform. -

With my apologies to my German friends, but from our collective history, my most direct association is #AusweisBitte!
And it is not about age, it’s about creating a global panopticon. They (many of them the very same people) have been planning and working towards this for years.

@Em0nM4stodon This this this. I just came back to the fediverse after fully leaving Meta and Snapchat ++ behind. I guess I’m leaving Discord soon too.
@bendik @Em0nM4stodon Congratulations! You will be so glad you pruned your social media down to platforms you can control. I only miss instagram and I’ve found others ways to find cool stuff.

Biometrics are more taken than asked for is my theory.
retnal scanning, face scanning, all of it is as old as computer science. When has permission ever been given?
Discord has been in the news from the beginning about research on the methods.
people just don't care since they just want their apps.
shiny new smelling apps any app.... ..then, people are taught that as long as it's a private sector endeavor it must be good for you.

@MiriShuli @Em0nM4stodon I enjoy Pixelfed as a instagram replacement. I made myself three solo instances. One for Mastodon, one for Pixelfed and one for Loops. Replacing text, photos and “reels”/“tiktoks”. For me it’s awesome to be in control. Plus having the fediverse distributing my posts.

@Em0nM4stodon Remember these cowards for years told you that it was too costly & complex to follow laws to keep you safe.
Tech bros when the law protects consumers: "It's too hard, there's nothing we can do"
Tech bros when the law wants them to narc to fascists: "We must comply right away, so tomorrow we're globally rolling out our new Buttverify system, our new ai agent that crawls up your anus and takes a picture to send to your country's Customs agency."
Laws have changed but this is still the environment we are dealing with.......
a certain amount of untreated waste is spilled into a waterway.
as a private citizen you cannot go down to the site with a 5 gallon bucket fill it then leave that area with it.
a private corporation can collect thousands, thousands of thousands of gallons and do what they want with it.
the logic being that they produce a large percentage of the waste therefore should be allowed to that, collect it, and spill a certain amount again so logically completing the cycle.
my point.
biometric data is considered ambient data in a network.
state and local bodies cannot even collect ambient (toxic overflow) of any kind without petition.
corporations can always do so? -
