ONE BILLION personally-identifiable records were leaked by IDMerit an “AI-powered digital identity verification solutions provider”. The leaked data included:

Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata

Good thing we’re not uploading personally-identifiable documents for age or identity verification or anything whatsoever OH WAIT

FUCK all this surveillance tech. FUCK this identity verification bullshit. No one can be trusted with this information.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

“Nothing to hide” is a dangerous myth: it turns a fundamental right into a moral test and ignores how data is stored, combined, and used to judge or manipulate us over time 🔍

Privacy isn’t about hiding crimes, it’s about keeping control of our lives in a world of profiling, data brokers, shifting laws, and client‑side scanning 🔒

Especially if it's on LinkedIn or Discord.

RE: https://social.openrightsgroup.org/@openrightsgroup/116075899448316866

I've mostly started over in terms of my online accounts. Deleted almost everything.

- Services like reddit, I can usually get what I want just by browsing without an account.
- The only social site I have an account on is Mastodon.
- Chat/group chat is Signal

If you don't NEED an account delete it, don't create one. Weed out everything and minimize your exposure to invasive data collection and surveillance. And, when you do sign-up for a service, use an alias-email offered by services like Proton or MySudo. Generally, just be more proactive in what services you use and how you use them. And be willing to walk away from them if they start to get grabby.

And take a hard line with your family and friends. Compromise less or not at all. In 2026 privacy is the priority, not convenience.

I don't want or need most of the services I've come across.

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.
