They are literally just going to use this to train their AI video software so it stops bugging out when people put their hands in front of their faces.

Everyone knows this, right?

That's all captchas have ever been used for: collecting training data for free

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

Did you guys know that the judges that issued international arrest warrants for Netanyahu were sanctioned by the United States and as a result are completely unable to access their bank accounts or do any banking?

But don’t you dare bring it up you raging antisemite.

Before you are allowed to speak online, we need to connect everything you say to an ID.

We promise this database totally won't be used against you to target you as a political dissident.

Also, don't worry about hackers going after this massive treasure chest for ID fraud.

BREAKING: ISRAEL IS DROPPING CLUSTER MUNITIONS IN LEBANON DISGUISED AS CHILDREN'S TOYS & FOOTBALLS

Trust me you don’t hate israel enough.

I’m watching how quickly age verification is becoming a part of every policy proposal. None of this is about age, it’s all ultimately about identity.

[Good old npzman @yourfeedofme]

I do not watch porn.

I do not care about anime.

I do not care about furries.

I do not pay attention to 4chan.

I just do not want anyone to be forced to dox themselves by handing over ID or having their faces scanned as part of age verification anywhere online.

Everyone needs to realize that every company and government around the world wants to harvest as much info from you as possible

If Google makes this mandatory then I will never use it ever again

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

They'll call him a "decent man." He is not.

He oversaw one of the most aggressive assaults on British civil liberties in generations, all to protect Israel's genocide and Britain's participation in the crime of all crimes.

He shouldn't be resigning. He should be in The Hague

[DeepHumor @DeepHumor]

This is not a coincidence. This is a worldwide plan to enact mass surveillance
Everyone in the world should be working together to fight against Digital ID laws

Volkswagen blocked its app from running on GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS is used by security researchers, journalists, privacy advocates, and anyone who takes mobile security seriously

The Volkswagen app still runs on Android phones that haven't received a security update in years

Volkswagen's stated reason: GrapheneOS lacks official Android features the app depends on.
GrapheneOS passes Google Play Integrity API checks

It is more secure than stock Android by every measurable standard.
Volkswagen can remotely control your car from a phone

They have decided that phone must be one the manufacturer still controls

The most secure phone you can own is now too secure to start your Volkswagen

Volkswagen didn't block GrapheneOS because it's insecure nahhh
they blocked it because GrapheneOS removes the telemetry hooks their app depends on
the "official Android features" they're referring to are data collection infrastructure

your car app doesn't need Google Play Services to start your engine
it needs it to report back

security is not the concern
control is the concern

@CR1337 If the PM has done nothing wrong, he will have nothing to hide, right?

[CR1337 @CR1337]

The home of Danish privacy activist Lars Andersen was raided by masked police forces after he published his 'two favourite numbers', a 10 digit and a 8 digit number, spelled out in letters; it were the social security and phone number of Mette Frederiksen, the Prime Minister of Denmark, who wants to ban encryption (CSA) and introduce mass surveillance.

"Rules for thee, but not for me..."

[Rikki Doolan @realrikkidoolan]

My IOS updated overnight and I woke up to my phone asking me to upload my ID so it can age verify me.

NO!

British Gov is overreaching beyond comprehension.

This is what the social ban is about. They want to control, track, and trace ALL OF US.

[Secure Privacy @SecurePrivacyAI]

"Privacy is only for people hiding something."

So is a locked door.
So is a curtain.
So is an unlisted number.

Protection is being re-framed as "hiding".

Locks were never about guilt.
They were always about who gets to decide who enters.

[Harry Pettit 🇱🇧🇵🇸 @HarrygPettit]

An Egyptian PhD student asked his university, Erasmus Rotterdam, to change supervisor after his supervisor signed a letter supporting the genocide in Gaza.

The university refused, and forced Ahmed to leave instead. Ahmed took them to court, and lost.

We all know if this had been a Jewish student and Arab supervisor it would have gone very differently.

Well done to Ahmed for pushing all the way to expose the hypocrisy anf supremacy at the heart of our universities.

On June 5th Israel attacked the home of world famous Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body.

Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries.

This wasn’t an accident. They didn’t make a mistake. Mona’s home was also where she ran her sea turtle conservatory- which she aptly named the Orange House Project- because, after all, her house was painted top to bottom in a deep, bright orange, the color of a late summer sunset.

The Orange House Project has been in operation for almost 30 years. You can find it on Facebook and Google Maps, along with dozens of reviews from visitors over the years.

So no, it wasn’t an accident or a mistake. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it bombed the Orange House Project on June 5th.

It’s exactly what they’ve been doing since the war with Iran started: ethnically cleansing all of Southern Lebanon so they can steal the land and occupy it for themselves.

June so far:
🇬🇧 UK announced ID checks at device level.
🇨🇦 Canada announced it's joining the social media ban.
🇮🇳 India banned Telegram.
🇪🇺 EU claimed its age verification cannot be bypassed by VPN.
🏛️ Council of Europe breached. 297 GB gone.

Italy said none of this will work.

So far Italy is the only one that's right.

[f4mi ‼️ @f4micom]

“age verification” is a trojan horse name invented by the enemy to disguise what this shit is really about: papers please, to use the internet, for everyone, everywhere, no matter what age you are or what you are doing, permanent surveillance of your every move, irl with shit like flock cameras and online with passport checks and data tracking

[The Logically Left Pissed Off Bear - 🏳️‍🌈 ✊🏿 @Logically_Left]

The moment they start talking about VPNs you know it's NOT about child safety.
