#Persona, a Peter #Thiel of #Palantir fame funded provider of identity and age verification services for companies like #Discord and the entire #UK, left their code base open to the web. Of course they did.
Let’s look at what it does, shall we?
The platform performs 269 individual verification checks on user data, far beyond basic age verification.
#Surveillance: Persona’s system screens users against global watchlists, including those for #terrorism, #espionage, and politically exposed persons (#PEPs), using facial recognition and risk scoring. Researchers confirmed that the government-facing and consumer-facing versions of Persona use the same underlying code, suggesting a unified surveillance infrastructure.
Data Retention: Personal data including government ID, phone numbers, names, faces, selfies, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and device fingerprints—is collected and retained for up to three years.

Certains instrumentalisent le décès tragique d'un membre d'un service d'ordre d'extrême-droite à Lyon pour dénoncer l'antifascisme comme responsable et générateur de violences.
Inversion nauséabonde.
Le fascisme génère l'antifascisme, pas l'inverse. Il n'y a pas d'équivalence (et personne ne doit mourrir).

#Roblox, #Reddit and #Discord users must use biometric #ageverification tool backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel
@JamesBaker says:
“People are worried, and angry, about having to hand over biometric scans of their face to overseas companies just to access online platforms. This includes children.
“Users deserve to know who is behind these systems, how their data is being used, and to have a real choice about who verifies their identity online.”
Astronaut, author, professional football player, and STEM educator Leland Melvin was born #OTD in 1964.
