    Hackers Expose The Massive Surveillance Stack Hiding Inside Your “Age Verification” Check

    "We've been saying this for years now, and we're going to keep saying it until the message finally sinks in: mandatory age verification creates massive, centralized honeypots of sensitive biometric data that will inevitably be breached.

      @tobru Truth: It's not a question of IF these datastores will be compromised, rather a matter of when.

      And in the meantime, the data will be used against all of us by those in power. Once it is exposed, that same data will be used against us by _everyone_.

        @tobru Combine that with this, and "I don't have anything to hide" is no longer valid. I hope this will serve as a lesson to people who keep chanting that. 😠

        Trump’s new budget turns the FBI into the gender police — Advocate

        The proposal claims that “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” constitute emerging national security concerns. It includes “domestic terrorists” who practice “extremism on migration, race and gender,” or who oppose “traditional American views on family, religion and morality.”

        Under the proposal, addressing those categories would become a stated priority for FBI counterterrorism spending.

        The budget also calls for creating a new federal hub to address “political violence in America,” which it positions as focused in part on “leftist” ideology, according to the Washington Blade.

        That center, referred to as the “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center,” follows a directive issued by the Trump administration last year to prioritize investigations into perceived political threats from the left, as previously reported by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.

        Civil liberties advocates have warned that the approach risks conflating political dissent with national security threats. Several public interest groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have raised concerns that the policy could target Americans based on their beliefs.
