Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning.

Persona’s exposed code compares your selfie to watchlist photos using facial recognition, screens you against 14 categories of adverse media from mentions of terrorism to espionage, and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships to combat online child exploitative material, cannabis trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, romance fraud, money laundering, and illegal wildlife trade.Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches...
"""So to keep kids safe from online predators, we're willing to *horribly* invade their privacy and sell all their data to predators? I see the system is working as intended 😮💨

@evacide Ah yes, "let us protect children by scanning their faces". What could possibly be wrong??? 🤡
“the software ‘flags you as a “suspicious entity” based on your face alone’ …”
Yay! Phrenology 2.0!

We won't surveill you
And if we do it won't be that bad
And if it was, at least it's secure
And if it' not we didn't mean it
And if we did you deserved it -

A golden rule:
When the #SecretServices say a politician is a threat to #NationalSecurity—as #Dearlove says of the British Green Party leader #ZackPolanski - it's time to think that the politician is acting in the best interests of his citizens:

Tanto improvviso quanto impattante. Si abbatte anche su Genova la notizia del blocco disposto dal Tribunale di Milano sull'area a caldo dell'ex Ilva di Taranto. Il provvedimento, datato 25 febbraio, impone interventi urgenti per mitigare gli effetti delle lavorazioni per l'ambiente e la salute.
