Image scanning for nudes 🤝 digital ID checks

This will affect everyone. All adults will have to hand over their ID to turn off the blocks on their phone.

But the scanning software will hang around. Something that could end up being used to censor much more.

We can't allow this trojan horse tech.

ORG's @JamesBaker spoke to TalkTV about the UK government's plans.

Did your ID or driver's license vanish from your Google Wallet? 📱

If you use the app in Germany for photo backups, a recent bug seems to have wiped them out. Trying to re-add them triggers a frustrating "Try again later" error. Whether it's a regulatory veto or a sign of an impending feature rollout, you aren't alone in this digital ghost wipe.

Have your digital documents disappeared this week, or did your wallet survive? 👇

After having had iPhones as work phones for the better part of the past 10 years, I shudder at faceID being suggested as a requirement to log in to an eID.
My iPhones have been unable to recognize me when I:
* had a stye in my eye
* had extracted a wisdom tooth
* got new glasses
* did my makeup differently
* put in an invisalign tray (they're what, 0.2mm thick?)

So when you see face matching as an eID requirement, imagine that you can't pay a bill because of a stye.

"This will only result in population-wide ID checks for all of us to use our phones, tablets and laptops," said Silkie Carlo, director of Big Brother Watch. "These plans would replace efforts for meaningful tech and parental responsibility with performative, authoritarian government control that children can easily circumvent by accessing adult-registered devices."

Train parents on the tools to protect their kids, not kids on tools to go to the worst parts of the internet. This will fail and kids are going to be exposed to much worse content
