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.

@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.
@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? -

kind of like how the disputed traffs smelled as well?

@simonzerafa @Em0nM4stodon Thank you! I'm way more interested in the researcher's published finding :3

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 Whenever I see discussions about online ID/age verification come up, I tend to see a few people speaking up about ZKP (zero knowledge proofs). Admittedly, I know almost nothing about it, but a cursory read on the subject makes it sound like it could be a solution to the problem.
Of course, this is assuming that one takes the stated/claimed problems (e.g. protecting age-restricted spaces from those who are underage) at face value. When it's more likely that the goal of these programs is broad surveillance and control, which nobody would willingly accept if it was presented so plainly.
@Intaglio_Dragon @Em0nM4stodon
No it's not a solution.
Id requirements still exclude those who don't have the privilege to have the right kind of id. Even if implemented in a cryptographically sound way.

@Intaglio_Dragon @Em0nM4stodon
And then if the client side is available only as one app you're bound to, even if the protocol itself is sound, you may still have side channels from trackers if not outright implementation security holes.

@catsalad
Evil is welcome in future, which we have been waiting for so much...
You all want technical progress, you all want super technology from your favorite anime and manga?..
Well, here you go, here you go...
So in song singing,
"Do you feel unhappy, XXI Century Man?.."
Similar technologies for about 10 years already are used in Russian Federation, but here it is, on your street comrade Major...
But, please, only don't fall to Luddite hysteria!! Progress don't return back!!

@project1enigma @Em0nM4stodon I admit that my knowledge on the subject is limited, and maybe it was foolish of me to speak up in the first place.
No doubt, online ID verification shares some of the same problems as face-to-face ID verification. What I mentioned may merely be a technical solution to a non-technical problem (or, once again, I may be speaking out of ignorance).

@Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange there is no technical solution to governments imposing authoritarian policies.

@Intaglio_Dragon@furry.engineer @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange if verifying id was actually the goal (not to mention a useful or productive goal), perhaps, but it's almost always a means of tracking and controlling populations. offering concessions to that pursuit is ridiculous

@Intaglio_Dragon @Em0nM4stodon even if it worked (no one can explain toe how.their system is both anonymous and can't be gamed by someone handing out ZKP tokens like Halloween candy) there's also the matter.that we're giving unaccountable control of what people under 18/25/whatever can see or do to people who freely admit they want to do anti LGBT stuff with it, and that's just the start. What else will whoever decides this deem "harmful to Minors"
The whole thing's evil

@etsyy @Intaglio_Dragon @Em0nM4stodon even suggesting it helps legitimize it. And we k.ow that they won't be using your bespoke crypto. They're uploading your ID to the pedophile Nazi vampire peter thiel, who then scans against 34 police databases (hey! We were promised this was just an age check!) And then leaves it so insecure the people who leak it Can't be called hackers because they didn't even have to hack anything to get all of it
