Once again, @pluralistic nails it ...
If:
digital sovereignty + AI
=
digital sovereignty - AI
Then: AI = 0

nixCraft 🐧Think age and ID verification is limited to social media? Think again. Get ready for new age and identity checks if you use LLMs.
Age and ID verification coming to Claude AI soon. Anthropic’s updated privacy policy (effective July 8, 2026) introduces age and identity verification provisions for Claude Free, Pro, and Max users. The process can involve a government ID and a live selfie, handled through Anthropic’s partner Persona Identities. https://privacy.claude.com/en/articles/10301952-updates-to-our-privacy-policy 🤡
