Age verification is, by design, unsafe and open to abuse.

The reckless adoption of this truly vile policy can and will result in much more harm, the EU should do a right thing and pull the plug on this dangerous policy and mandate that member states do the same.

Bypassing the latest #EU #ageVerification app (2026.07-1) with a Chrome extension... again.

Despite 3 months of security hardening and genuine improvements across the board, the fundamental issue cannot be solved.

Anonymous age verification doesn't work.

All while these states promote age verification policies that devastate teens mental health by not only isolated them but also opening them up to sexual predators, extortion and exploitation.

‼️ Discord is testing Incode as a age verification vendor, but Incode's biometric policy allows model training on biometric data, its privacy policy permits retention for up to three years, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation has already faulted its TikTok setup for not auto-deleting user data.

Discord says the selfie check runs on-device and that IDs sent to Incode are deleted once your age is confirmed. But Incode's own policy allows for longer retention if consented by the individual.

After roughly 70,000 Discord users had government ID photos exposed through a breached third-party support firm last October (see the heavily redacted photo we posted back then), users should be sceptical about Discord's choice.

@FredThomasUK What research has been done on the harms of age verification, especially intimate image abuse and VAWG?

Has any research been done on the harms of these systems? Probably not, since it will tell them it’s a terrible idea that will be Fatal.

EU wide pro-intimate image abuse policy is coming, despite not being ethical, back by logic or necessary.

This is not a policy designed to protect children.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️ An EU-wide social media ban for children is expected to be announced by Von der Leyen in her September 16 State of the Union speech. This was confirmed by multiple EU officials and diplomats.

Brussels is racing to set one rule before France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, and Greece lock in five different ones.

This will affect roughly 65 million under-15s across 27 countries. But the legal framework is undecided, the minimum age is unset, and the Commission's own expert panel doesn't report until July 13.

NCOSE lawyers got caught citing fake cases - their corrected brief had more fake cases

The folks at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) have spent decades demonizing technology (and speech) they don’t understand, so it seems particularly ironic that they’re now getting benchslapped for allowing AI hallucinated citations in legal filings.

First, some background: NCOSE has gone through a few different branding phases, but for a long while were known as “Morality in Media,” an extraordinarily prudish and busybodyish entity that went around scolding retailers for offering magazines that showed models on the cover for being too sexy.

When they renamed themselves to NCOSE and started focusing on the internet (including the laughably false claim that any porn is a health issue and, now, that it’s a national security issue), they jumped on the anti-encryption and anti-Section 230 bandwagons, and politicians (including many Democratic ones who should have known better) quickly embraced the group under the false pretense that they actually were interested in ending sexual exploitation, rather than locking down the internet, and blocking any speech that acknowledges LGBTQ+ people exist.

Suffice it to say, the group is a far right, anti-sex, anti-speech, and anti-internet group, and it’s ridiculous that any politician supports them.

And now we can add to the list that their lawyers apparently can’t make it through a filing without fabricating citations — and then doubling down when caught. This came out in a convoluted case, in which NCOSE lawyers sued some Nevada brothels for supposedly exploiting women who chose to work there. It is possible that something bad happened in those places, but NCOSE apparently did themselves no favors by hiring a local lawyer whose AI-assisted work they were supposed to review — and then didn’t.

• Personal document data

Details:

• Target: Spanish ID holders
• Country: Spain
• Sector: Identity / Personal data

@FortressAmerica @bx_on_x The wider issue of the dehumanization of people involved in the porn industry, coupled with pseudoscience related to “porn addiction“ and “no fap” plays a part in this.

Multiple people in the replies today have pointed out that the Montreal shooting attack took place directly in front of the building that contains the headquarters of Aylo, a company that operates multiple prominent porn sites including PornHub. Reportedly the shooter's manifesto has "incel" leanings and mentions pornography. Unclear if the attack being located in front of this building is just coincidental.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley outlines ambitious plan to introduce Live Facial Recognition (LFR) into crime hotspots across the West End.

Public confidence in this is clear: 80% of Londoners support its use.

2,000 arrests with the support of LFR since 2024 - helping take rapists, sex offenders and prolific shoplifters off the streets.

During a pioneering pilot of static LFR cameras in Croydon, the technology helped us arrest more than 170 people.

Cameras are mounted to existing infrastructure such as lampposts rather than vans, allowing officers to run deployments in a more agile way.

We will work with local councils to identify additional high crime areas, with plans to accelerate the rollout of cameras across London from next year.

Advocates for age verification for social media say they want parental choice.

Here's the head of the Age Verification Providers Association saying you need age verification because parents will help their kids pass age checks. So you're taking AWAY their choice

"often, parents are complicit in helping their kids to access services which are age-limited when they shouldn't be accessing those services. So, sometimes you will need to do an independent age verification rather than simply relying on a parental attestation"

@BiometricUpdate Age verification has and will be linked to sex crimes, extortion and suicide, it’s the duty of those backing this policy to admit that it’s a tool for criminals and work to prohibit or otherwise limit its abusive capabilities.

and ban invasive age verification methods.
