Proton says it's worse than the US.

We just raised $7.5M to build the infrastructure for identity and fraud.
The round is backed by @ycombinator, Orange Collective, Rebel Fund, Pioneer Fund, and other incredible VCs and angels.
AI is making fraud incredibly cheap to create: fake identities, fake businesses, fake transactions, all generated at internet scale. We believe every app will soon need trust infrastructure the same way apps today rely on payments or cloud hosting.
The future of the internet is verified. Didit (@getdidit) is building it.
It’s official! We’ll be launching Real-Time Water in Unity: From Splashes to Oceans soon! Help us reach 2,000 wishlists 🌊 https://t.co/5A4nXsEMJz

one of the things it does really well is object tracking, even in crazy complex scenes like basketball
probably my favorite computer vision model ever
