First, they'll ask for your official IDs to confirm your age and identity.

This will create a large treasure trove
of sensitive data, which will attract criminals, and will inevitably leak from either negligence or malice, sooner than later.

Then, they'll claim your official ID is
unreliable, because it was stolen so many times, and demand you share your biometric data.

They will collect your face scan,
your palm scan, and even your iris scan (no exaggeration, these are all already being collected by some companies for identification). They will claim it's super safe.

This will create a large treasure trove
of sensitive biometric data, which will attract criminals, and will inevitably leak from either negligence or malice, sooner than later.

Then what? Rinse and escalate.

You will have lost control of not just your corporate social media accounts by participating to this, but to any data capable of validating your identity, to your privacy rights, to the protections you could use online to stay safe.

We don't have to wait that it escalates.

We can, and must, push back and say No now. Start to say No now.

📱🫆 Vous êtes sous #Android ? Vous êtes en Europe ? Alors avez-vous pensé à supprimer votre identifiant publicitaire Google ? Cet identifiant est partagé par tous les databrokers pour vous suivre à la trace dans toutes les applications (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZjPHnN482M). Ce n'est pas parfait mais en le supprimant, vous leurs compliquez la tâche. Paramètres Android > Google > Tous les services > Annonces > Supprimer l'identifiant publicitaire.

Cependant ce mot (et d'autres: SSO, passerelles, portabilité...) colporte toutes sortes d'illusions que nous mettrons en lumière lors d'un webinaire le 22 janvier à 18h. Ce sera bien sûr l'occasion de reparler du Réseau Social Universel, qui place l'interopérabilité au cœur de son architecture.
