Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona.

@evacide and meanwhile the Australian government is claiming credit for protecting children by standing up to social media companies to force them to use this kind of tech.

I’m sure the pressure is in the opposite direction.

@evacide Amazing how people do everything to not use free software!

@evacide
There is an frightening thread about the use of Person for the LinkedIn verification

@evacide surely Discord's third age-verification partner will be completely TRUSTED and DEPENDABLE and not at all part of the Torment Nexus being built around these services.

@evacide if something is free, never forget to ask who pays for it, who benefits?

I personally think it's great, though, that there are also people striving _for_ a better internet. That gives me hope.

@evacide
One of the many reasons to be against #ageverification software

It gives the wrong people & companies tons of data, often #biometric ones

Therefore we transfers #power exactly the wrong people & #corporations

And as we can know latest since #Edwardsnowden companies do share data with governments

The cornerstone of the #chinese #surveillance #state is #realnameregistration

Don't give #biometrics to #evilcorp, especially not for cheap thrills

Do not hand data to #fascists

#resist

@evacide Hackers found a big mistake! That eye and bank picture looks scary. Hope they fix it fast so no one gets in trouble.

@evacide @thej holy freaking crap

[gerardthornley@hachyderm.io]

@ollicle @evacide Yep. It's brilliant from a certain perspective. Horrifying, sinister, but with a certain genius.

The tech firms get to say "Oh, no, the horrible government is making us do this. Oh well. Now give us your identity documents."

The governments get to give the appearance of responding to (genuinely) grieving parents, and say "we're protecting the children" which is game over for any alternative voice. All the while receiving funding (directly or indirectly) from the tech firms that created the problem or the supposed solution, or their fellow travellers.

And parents get to believe their children's safety is taken care of.

@evacide just don't use #discord and refuse to #ID as a matter of principle!

@deborahh@cosocial.ca @evacide@hachyderm.io That's why *"#KYC IS THE ILLICIT ACTIVITY!"* - I mean, there's a [*trivial bypass*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LsF4FF6gO4) but #Discord itself is garbage!

@evacide Persona? #Persona deserves its own social movement in opposition to its existence.
