With how quickly fraud is evolving due to AI, online identity now collects more data than ever. Privacy feels like an inevitable sacrifice.

We don’t believe it has to be, so we built Relay.

Relay verifies you are human, but keeps your activity private.

Persona never sees who you share this proof with or what you’re doing online, and the website you’re trying to verify with never sees any of your personal information.

Identity and privacy don’t have to be a tradeoff.

🔒 Today, we're launching Relay: a new way to verify who you are while keeping your online activity private.

@usa4 I stuck around for Drums > Space that's how good the show was. 😅

@zzyzx I worked at a video rental store through high school that had a TM kiosk in it and used to walk past the long lines, open the store, print my tickets and then let them shuffle in. Good times.

@thisissmithj @worldwise001 @bradseiler @IanColdwater they weren’t. they were just the ones on the finicky HSMs that would self destruct in a warm breeze. the rest of the temps on things were mostly okay.

@FunnelFiasco @pragprog congrats! That’s a fantastic accomplishment.

Now I have the entirety of music at my fingertips and I don’t know what to play next.

Remember when a night sitting on the couch the dark with the 5 disc CD changer that’d let you queue up the next song from another CD was peak awesome?

@dneto1969 I disliked season 3 up until the last three episodes.

AppleTV helping fill the sci-fi void so I’ll take what I can get.

@laflaca428 @synthphunk @chopaganda “I just got back from WSP orgy... and they were playing Chilly Water. SIGNIFICANT SHRINKAGE, JERRY!”

[Ian C. @ircri]

This is pretty nice.

@KirkMartinez It sucks. Whole family is down. :(

That Bobby and John show last night was magic. Worth every bit of extra pain I feel today with these COVID symptoms.

[Ian C. @ircri]

I streamed it. So put your Twitter rage back in a box.

@chalfant Hello from New Hampshire! We have trees! And space! :D

@worldwise001 We did our first trip back to 🇨🇦 last week in over two years. All our parents looked substantially older and more frail than they did on VC.

Time's a revelator.

And tt was easier to leave when it was just a 6 hour drive home and not a day in planes. Felt nicer.

[Ian C. @ircri]

@zzyzx hah. no way. not from a mile.

For the first time in 9 (gulp) years, I hit https://t.co/jJ6Z3MdpPn as a non-diamond user. Feels weird. But also liberating. The guilt of being a zombie moderator is at least no longer present.

@alfredapp has v5 early access on their website now: https://t.co/BGYEylVwEn
