BREAKING: The House just failed to pass a resolution to end Trump's war with Iran by one vote. The count was 213-214. Just one Democrat, Jared Golden, voted to let Trump keep waging the war.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink admits defeat at the World Economic Forum: "The world now places far less trust in us to help shape what comes next." "If the World Economic Forum is going to be useful going forward, it has to regain that trust."

Soso, der christliche Gotteskrieger Hegseth hat gestern bei der regelmäßigen Gebetsversammlung im Pentagon einen gefälschten Bibelvers von Quentin Tarantino vorgetragen. Was wird die Rübennase wohl als nächstes rezitieren, die Bergpredigt von Monty Python? "Gepriesen sind die Skifahrer", "Romanes eunt domus!", "Jeder nur EIN Kreuz", "Ist noch jemandem zumute nach einer kleinen Chelmerei, wenn ich meinen lieben Freund erwähne, Chwanzus Longus..."

@Keir_Starmer I think they are more worried about their rights to protest and their right to state their opinion without having to fear immediate repercussions due to surveillance

I know parents are worried about social media and its impact on their children’s safety. They rightly expect fast action. Today, I’m calling on senior leaders from X, Meta, Snap, YouTube and TikTok to step up. I will do whatever it takes to keep children safe online.

Hacking the #EU #AgeVerification app in under 2 minutes. During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory. 1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design. 2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data. So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app. After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid. Other issues: 1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying. 2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step. Seriously @vonderleyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.

.@vonderleyen "The European #AgeVerification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..." I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious #privacy issue. The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well. But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly. For NFC biometric data: It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. For selfie pictures: Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary. From a #GDPR standpoint: Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach. youtube.com/watch?v=4VRRri…

4 reasons why a law enforcing "Age Verification on Operating Systems" is a terrible idea: - Will likely lead to bad actors obtaining more personal information (massive collection of personal data makes too tempting of a target). - Will likely lead to a reduction in Free Speech. (Could cause significant issues for both journalists and whistleblowers.) - Does the opposite of protecting children. It builds a national database of every child who uses a computer. A database which, if the past is any indicator, will be hacked and breached. Thus putting every child in the country in increased danger. - Forcing developers to create this feature would be a violation of Free Speech (see Junger v. Daley, & Bernstein v. United States which both hold that computer code is speech with First Amendment protections). In other words: The law would be illegal, harmful to children, harmful to software developers, harmful to Free Speech and journalism... and generally make people less safe. And that's just off the top of my head.

New Federal Law to Require Age Verification on All Operating Systems H.R. 8250 ("To require operating system providers to verity the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes.") has been introduced in the U.S. Congress.

@Ag_EP3 @skylermzx Thanks for your insight... I have read this before, and usually it's from YouTube or Reddit lol. Usually the same category of users that recommend VPN xyz for anonymity

@mjfree Yes, recently he stated he likes to hang with "losers", but not so much "successful people" because they make him feel bad. I believe in this moment he was very sincere. Totally fits his profile so I'd say high probability of being factual

@RespectfulMemes I've been wondering for a while if that's a typical ADHD trait or rather widespread independent from ADHD traits

The South African laws are literally super racist, plain and simple. It’s not complicated: imagine if the law was called “White Empowerment”, instead of “Black Empowerment”! People would have a seizure 😂 South Africa now has more anti-White laws than Apartheid had anti-Black laws. Think about that for a second … The current South African government has objectively implemented Apartheid 2.0. Shame on them.

You think your anonymous accounts are safe. Researchers from ETH Zurich and Anthropic built an AI system that can figure out who you really are. They tested it on Reddit, Hacker News, and LinkedIn. It works on raw text. No structured data needed. They collected 338 Hacker News users who had linked their LinkedIn profiles, then stripped all identifying information from their accounts. The AI correctly re-identified 67% of them. When it made a guess, it got the right person 9 out of 10 times. The cost? Between $1 and $4 per person. The system uses GPT-5.2 for reasoning, Gemini for matching, and Grok 4.1 Fast for shortlisting. It reads your posts, builds a profile of who you are, then searches the internet for your real identity. No human needed. Fully automatic. The old way of doing this? A method based on the famous Netflix Prize attack. It found 0.1% of people. The AI found 45.1% of people at 99% precision. That is a 450x improvement. They also tested it on Reddit. They split 5,000 people's posting histories into two halves separated by a full year. Then they asked the AI to reconnect the two halves. It matched 67.3% of people at 90% precision. The old method? 0.4%. The scariest finding: even when only 1 in 10,000 users in the database had a possible match, the AI still found 9% of them at 90% precision. The researchers wrote: "Pseudonymity does not provide meaningful protection online." They also said: "Users who post under persistent usernames should assume that adversaries can link their accounts to real identities." The more you post, the easier you are to find. Reddit users who discussed 10 or more movies across different communities were identified 48.1% of the time at 90% precision. Governments could use this to track activists. Corporations could use it for targeted ads. Stalkers could use it for $4. This is not a future threat. The attack uses publicly available AI models, standard APIs, and costs less than a cup of coffee per person. Your anonymous account is not anonymous anymore.
