Discord have belatedly confirmed that they're working with Persona, an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel.
In a world where the boogeymen of Palantir and nation-state bad actors plundering personal data are actually real, saying “no one is asking kids to send their data” is beyond naive, it’s putting your head in the sand.
This is why the age verification thing is bad… IT ISNT ABOUT THE KIDS.
Both the motivation and the goal of these checkpass type systems is to collect your data!
You started talking about kids for some reason. Now you’re saying it’s actually not about kids. Maybe think about it for a moment and then tell me again what the problem is.
