The EU Commission is telling all 27 member states to deploy its age verification app by end of 2026. This is the same app a researcher bypassed in under two minutes back in April. Von der Leyen says platforms have "no more excuses." Show your digital passport to read a website. reclaimthenet.org/eu-pushes-age-…

Lawton, Oklahoma just handed its police Clearview AI. Officers can now run any resident's face against billions of photos scraped from the internet without consent. There's no reporting requirement and no limit on how long search logs are kept. Mass surveillance used to require effort. Now it's available at the click of a button. reclaimthenet.org/lawton-police-…

Apple has expanded its passport-based Digital ID into an age check for App Store downloads, iOS updates, and safety settings. There was no press release. Apple is building the identity rails first and letting the laws catch up later. Once your phone wallet is the ID checkpoint, every future law just plugs in. reclaimthenet.org/apple-digital-…

Eurail demanded passport numbers to sell train tickets. Now 308,777 of those passports are on the dark web, and victims are paying out of pocket to replace them. Every mandatory ID scheme rests on this same fantasy: that the database won't get breached. They always do. reclaimthenet.org/the-eurail-bre…

@cityofokc @stormchase4life If the sirens are sounded later, how will the visitors know what it is and what it is for?

Due to storm concerns and lots of out-of-town visitors, the City of Oklahoma City will NOT be testing the outdoor warning system today at noon. 4/25/26

Mexico passed a law requiring all 127 million cell phone users to register their SIM to a biometric government ID by June 30. Every number, every device, every call: tied to a name and a face. USA Herald is already asking when the US does this. That is not a rhetorical question.

Massie and Boebert's new bill effectively kills the third-party doctrine. No more warrantless access to your bank records, your browsing history, your location data just because it sits on a corporate server. The terms of service can't consent to surveillance on your behalf. Worth reading in full. reclaimthenet.org/surveillance-a…

Today's vote on #SportsBetting was interesting to watch unfold at the #okleg. A good summary from @andiehancock, who came to the Capitol for free lunch and stayed to carry today's load for me! nondoc.com/2026/04/22/bad…

Not even online gaming is safe anymore, as all facets of life are being invaded by "age verification" laws designed to "protect children." Meanwhile, tech monoliths like Google siphon data from children as young as 13, building ad profiles meant to manipulate their young minds.

@GregTHR I’m not verifying crap to my nicotine delivery device

Glas provided Nicotine Insider with dozens of pages of correspondence to the FDA / HHS, including results from their FOIA requests. FDA scientists were ready to authorized age-verified flavored vapes, but we're stopped.

@frontier236 @T3chFalcon They can. They don’t care. It’s the price of doing business for them.

@T3chFalcon Why can't the government see that this policy would only lead to more harm?

France’s Government ID Portal Got Breached. Up to 19 Million Citizens Exposed. TL;DR: France’s ANTS portal, which issues passports, national IDs, and driver’s licenses, has been breached. Up to 19 million French citizens could be affected. The Ministry of the Interior has confirmed the breach. If you are French, assume your identity data is exposed. What is ANTS and why does this hurt? ANTS (Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés), now called France Titres, is the French government’s main platform for secure identity documents. It is not a third-party contractor or a startup. This is the official system that handles your passport, national ID card, and driver’s license. When this kind of data leaks, it is not like a shopping app breach where you can just change your password. Identity document data is permanent. You cannot change your date of birth. What was exposed? According to the official notification sent to affected professional account holders, the breach detected on April 15, 2026, resulted in unauthorised access to: Full name (first and last) Login credentials (account ID and email address) Professional identification data (company name, SIREN number, portal ID) Authorisation and accreditation numbers In some accounts: postal address and phone number The broader consumer-side exposure, confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior, adds: Date and place of birth Identity verification data This is all the information someone would need to impersonate a person. How serious is 19 million? France has about 68 million people. With 19 million affected accounts, nearly 1 in 3 French citizens had their data exposed in this government breach. For comparison, this is bigger than the 2017 Equifax breach in the UK and involves government-issued identity data, not just credit card numbers. The incident has been reported to the CNIL (France’s data protection authority) under Article 33 of GDPR, and the Ministry of the Interior has filed a criminal referral with the Paris Prosecutor under Article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. A formal investigation is now open. What the official letter says (and what it doesn’t) France Titres sent breach notifications to professional account holders. The letter sounds polished and reassuring, saying “you have no action to take” and “all necessary measures have been taken.” This follows the usual approach for incident communications. The letter does not explain how the attackers got in, how long they had access before April 15, whether regular (non-professional) accounts were affected in the same way, or if the data has already been sold or published. The lack of information about how the attack happened is the most concerning part. Until that is explained, it is not clear if the problem has really been fixed. The real risk: targeted phishing and identity fraud With names, emails, dates and places of birth, addresses, phone numbers, and ID verification data all in one dataset, attackers can do two things especially well: Spear phishing means sending highly personalized emails or making calls that use specific details about you to build trust before trying to get something more valuable, like your banking credentials or one-time passwords. If you get a call soon from someone who knows your SIREN number and postal address, this is likely the reason. Identity fraud can include opening accounts, taking out loans, or getting past KYC checks in your name. It is harder to fix, especially when the original data came from a government source that other institutions trust. What you should do Be alert for suspicious calls and emails. If someone contacts you and knows unusually specific personal details, treat it as a possible threat until you are sure it is safe. Do not confirm personal information to someone who calls you, even if they already seem to know it. This is a common trick, not proof that they are legitimate. Monitor your credit and banking activity over the next weeks and months for any accounts or applications you did not start. Report anything unusual via the France Titres contact form linked in the official notification. If you are a professional account holder, review your portal activity and consider whether your SIREN or accreditation number has been used anywhere it should not have been. Source: @IntCyberDigest

@phil_w888 13 years for me and some conditions I had when smoking went away. I no longer wheeze or get out of breath after a short jog. My laughs no longer degenerate into hacking coughs. I would not have quit without vaping. My health is better for it

The question isn't just, "How do these donors feel now?" The question is, did their money actually pay for hate? And did anyone coordinating these donations know this was going on?
