@LundukeJournal @Crunchyroll Age verification just adds more sensitive data to the next inevitable breach

100GB of personal details stolen from @Crunchyroll. Because, if we’ve learned anything from the last several years, it’s that if there is any sizable service storing personal data… it WILL be breached. No server is secure. Not one. And soon… age verifying data will also be included in all of these breaches.

@juliecbarrett Hard to call it child protection when the outcome is more tracking, more data collection, and less autonomy

🚫The App Store Accountability Act does not flip any script. 🚫It does not hold Big Tech accountable. The policy itself is funded by...META!!! And these orgs and think tanks and parent groups are also being funded by META to push this garbage policy that creates a Digital ID for every user. Parents should be furious that these people are pushing for a mandate to force them to hand over their child's data to Big Tech!!! This will protect no children. It will empower no parents. It is a huge win for Big Tech and Big Government. Hello Surveillance State! "America First" 😡

@juliecbarrett Agree, protecting children should not be used as cover for building broader tracking infrastructure

"Parents should have the tools..." Yes, they should. And they already do!! There is no mandate for parents to give their children unfettered access to the digital world. Parents already have control and they need to USE IT!! There are ample tools available to help monitor content, regulate screen time, and require parent consent for access, downloads, purchases, etc. The message here is to make parents feel like they can't parent in the digital age without the government's help. The government mandate they want you to beg for is Digital ID, it's not to protect children - that's just the pretty wrapping paper to get you to buy this garbage policy. Parents, step up!!

@Pirat_Nation Expanding reach matters less if the money still lives inside a centrally managed perimeter

PayPal has officially expanded access to its dollar-backed stablecoin, making it available in 70 markets worldwide This was previously limited primarily to the United States and the United Kingdom since its launch in 2023. The expansion now covers regions including: -Asia-Pacific -Europe -Latin America -North America -And select parts of Africa (mentioned in some reports)

@IntCyberDigest This is what happens when sensitive user data keeps flowing through too many trusted intermediaries

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Crunchyroll breached through outsourcing partner in India. A threat actor exfiltrated data from Crunchyroll's ticketing system and also managed to pull 100 GB of personally identifiable customer analytics data. We've analyzed sample data and it includes IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and more. An employee of their outsourcing partner Telus had executed malware on his system, which gave a threat actor access to Crunchyroll's environment.

Thousands of corporate video call recordings have been found in unsecured cloud storage buckets. Not because someone was malicious. Because the recording had to live somewhere, it always does on centralised platforms. Your team's confidentiality isn't a policy problem. It's a plumbing problem.

@Whonix That’s a strong point, better to rely on system design than long checklists about vendors.

Before using a VPN you have to research: Place of incorporation Corporation verifiable Third party audited Popularity in VPN reviews Long term track record No log policy Own infrastructure Accepts private payments Client APP is FOSS Whonix lets you skip that research.

@0xPolygon Nice step forward, clean way to get agents transacting onchain

MoonPay's open source wallet standard is now live for the agent economy, with support for Polygon out of the box. Give your agent a wallet. It can just pay for things on Polygon.

@Mark_Streamr Private if only run locally, or on private infra

OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex system card states that its safety training uses "production data, which reflects realistic user behaviour." Production data means real conversations from real ChatGPT users. The model that helped build itself was trained on what people actually said to it. They're not hiding it. They're marketing it. Your data isn't private...

@BitcoinNewsCom If a third party can reset your keys, it is not self-custody, it is custodial with extra steps

NEW: The Blockchain Policy Institute is urging Kentucky lawmakers to remove a last-minute amendment in House Bill 380 that would force hardware wallet providers to reset user credentials, calling it technologically impossible and harmful to self-custody. 🐎🏇

@ReclaimTheNetHQ This is why critical identity infrastructure should be minimized, decentralized, and never treated like a universal login layer

8.6 million Swedes use BankID for basically everything. Government. Banking. Tax filings. Their entire digital life through one system. A hacker group just leaked the source code for it. This is what centralized digital ID actually looks like when it goes wrong...

@heygurisingh Open tooling lowers cost, but centralized security stacks still concentrate risk in one place

🚨 BREAKING: The cybersecurity industry is about to get completely disrupted. Someone just open-sourced a fully autonomous AI Red Team. It's called PentAGI. 8,200+ stars on GitHub. Not one AI agent. An entire simulated security firm. Researchers, developers, pentesters, and risk analysts. All AI. All coordinating with each other before launching a single attack. No Cobalt Strike. No $100K/year pentest retainers. No OSCP required. Here's what's inside this thing: → An Orchestrator agent that plans the full attack chain → A Researcher agent that gathers intel from the web, search engines, and vulnerability databases → A Developer agent that writes custom exploit code on the fly → An Executor agent that runs 20+ pro security tools (nmap, metasploit, sqlmap, and more) → A memory system that learns from every engagement and gets smarter over time Here's the wildest part: It runs everything inside sandboxed Docker containers. Full isolation. It picks the right container image for each task automatically. It has a knowledge graph powered by Neo4j that tracks relationships between targets, vulnerabilities, tools, and techniques across every single test. Cybersecurity firms charge $25K-$150K per engagement for this exact workflow. This is free. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

@BLkhoih96132 Age verification keeps getting sold as safety while building identity gates the internet was never supposed to need

House removed the duty of care bc it forces companies to age verification. Now Texas is trying to do this in their own state. Idk man it seems like Texas has lost the spot of being a freedom loving state

@iAnonymous3000 Reproducible builds help, but local-first peer-to-peer systems reduce the trust surface even further

You don’t need to trust Signal. That’s the whole point. The protocol is open source. The clients are open source. The server is open source. Independent cryptographers have audited the Signal Protocol repeatedly, and it remains the gold standard for end-to-end encryption. Signal also supports reproducible builds - meaning you can compile the source code yourself and verify it produces the exact same binary distributed on app stores. Trust is for closed systems.

@Parodyjeffx This is what happens when data lives on servers you don’t control instead of staying local-first by design

🚨SHOCKING🚨 ADL CEO just admitted they use AI to scan social media and forward anything they flag to law enforcement and policymakers. We are cooked.

@AutismCapital This is what rent-seeking infrastructure looks like when surveillance gets packaged as safety

Are you guys paying attention yet? It's not about "child protection" or "national security" it's about making sure the internet is completely and totally deanonymized so that they have full control over the narrative and flow of information. "AI bots" is just the latest narrative

@DBCrypt0 Any system that needs your iris to function is optimizing for control, not user sovereignty

Worldcoin just said iris scans are the ONLY way to link human identity to AI agents. Let that sink in Their solution to AI trust? Hand over your biometric data to a centralized database run by Sam Altman's side project. Absolutely insane 🤯 Hard pass.

@juliecbarrett If the solution starts with more tracking, more data retention, and more gatekeeping, it is not a privacy win for children or anyone else.

I’m not sure if these supporters simply don’t understand what these policies like KOSA do or they just don’t care. KOSA is NOT “the gold standard for protecting kids online.” It is, in fact, giving Big Tech and the government permission to collect massive data and monitor your children online…not just kids, ALL of us. Digital ID and massive surveillance is being ushered in under the guise of “protecting the children.”

@LundukeJournal This is what building for user sovereignty looks like: no account, no ID, no centralized permission layer

GrapheneOS, an open source Android-based OS, has declared that they will not adhere to age verification laws. “GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.”

@ChibiReviews Age-gating the internet is just another way to normalize centralized identity checks as default infrastructure

And this is the reason Age Verification is being pushed so hard globally They want your data without needing a warrant for it.
