I’m hoping that now that there’s proof of it happening, the EU will crack down on sharing your ID with corpos. Technologically illiterate they may be, but even they must realize it’s bad to release your ID like that.
More like they will continue to push for age verification for everything, well that’s what my American rot brain says. Overe there you guys aren’t quite so…… anti person.
Ah good, what everyone said would happen is exactly what is happening.
Sure its not the data verification company directly, but proves that the whole process is so sufficiently complex that your ID could end up with multiple different providers and then be stolen. Not great.
That’s the point. De-anonymize everyone for surveillance capitalism.
The “think of the children” argument should never be taken in good faith. It’s a trojan horse for authoritarians to destroy your rights.
If it were about “surveillance capitalism” then we wouldn’t be hearing about this as unauthorised breaches.
It is enough that the people who demand these systems are ignorant.
Hate to see people’s fears being absolutely spot on here. These companies have no real way or financial incentive to keep our data safe.
This is so tiresome. The more info people gotta send over to verify themselves, the more risk shit like this happens.
