The government had my face on record already (as an immigrant they have all my biometrics), but it’s a principled stance against #surveillance. If you are traveling through US airports and have an identity that means you are less likely to be profiled, exercise this basic right and start setting the norm opting out of #FaceScan

Persona, the age verification service for discord, had its exposed frontend code analyzed by a hacker. It compares your selfie to watchlist photos. It screens you against 14 categories of adverse media (from mentions of terrorism to espionage), and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships.

"Yes.

Discord has rolled out their age verification already.

Yes.

Discord said nothing about the fact they were going to a month earlier than they stated.

Yes.

The system is malfunctioning and forcing users into uploading ID's because the face scan software doesnt work.

Yes."

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds

53MB of source code leaked from a government endpoint. 269 verification checks. biometric face databases. SAR filings to FinCEN. and the same company that verifies your ChatGPT account.

Fuck your age verification plans. Don’t be fooled #FaceScan and ID laws are not here to protect children, they are here to enable more #surveillance and #fascist ideologies.

Age Verification Wants Your Face, and Your Privacy

Age verification laws forcing platforms to restrict access to content online have been multiplying in recent years. The problem is, implementing such measure necessarily requires identifying each user accessing this content, one way or another. This is bad news for your privacy.

Meta planerar att uppgradera sina smarta glasögon med ansiktsigenkänning, enligt uppgifter till New York Times. Funktionen skulle göra det möjligt för användare att identifiera personer de möter och få information om dem via Metas AI-assistent.
