#Roblox, #Reddit and #Discord users must use biometric #ageverification tool backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel
@JamesBaker says:
“People are worried, and angry, about having to hand over biometric scans of their face to overseas companies just to access online platforms. This includes children.
“Users deserve to know who is behind these systems, how their data is being used, and to have a real choice about who verifies their identity online.”

Following global pushes for age assurance by governments, Persona is increasingly being used by major online platforms to carry out biometric age checks.Open Rights Group
Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.
If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.
Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.
It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.
A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.
The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.
If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.
Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.
They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.
Age verification is the new trend to de-anonymize the web. 😡
🚨Starting Dec 10, #YouTube #Australia will ask for your age.
The Big Tech already started rolling out an AI-powered age estimation system. Adults are being marked as minors & are forced to submit IDs before regaining full access to decades-old accounts.

Did YouTube ask you to verify your age with ID or credit card? You're not alone! YouTube AI is increasingly trying to estimate how old you are based on your habits following the global push for age verification.Tuta
"That’s no moonshot."
A fantastic piece by Heather Burns (who I don't think is here...) about #AgeVerification, and the AV lobbyist group's careless analogy with putting a person on the moon.
