"De TU Delft blijkt soms zonder hun medeweten namen van studenten en medewerkers te delen met de politie. Het gaat om mensen die willen meedoen aan aangekondigde demonstraties op de campus."

The Age-Verification Trap — Verifying user’s ages undermines everyone’s data protection

Social media is going the way of alcohol, gambling, and other social sins: Societies are deciding it’s no longer kid stuff. Lawmakers point to compulsive use, exposure to harmful content, and mounting concerns about adolescent mental health. So, many propose to set a minimum age, usually 13 or 16.

🚨 New Video: YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?

The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign.

In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem.

Can you trust a security tool if you aren't allowed to see how it works?

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solved

When your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases forever

This is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.

„I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.“

https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/

„The whole thing took three minutes. Scan, selfie, done.

Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents.

I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me.

All for a small blue checkmark on a professional networking site.“
