Another Day, Another Age Verification Data Breach: Discord’s Third-Party Partner Leaked Government IDs
Once again, we're reminded why age verification systems are fundamentally broken when it comes to privacy and security. Discord has disclosed that one of its third-party customer service providers was breached, exposing user data, including government-issued photo IDs, from users who had appealed age determinations. Data potentially accessed by the hack includes things like names, usernames, emails, and the last four digits of credit card numbers.

My thoughts on the Take It Down Act as someone who used to handle copyright takedown (and other) requests at Google. 🧵
As many have said, this law will be used as the ultimate weapon for the Trump Admin to censor speech from their political opponents (and more).

The Most Memorable Moment Of Trump’s Speech: It wasn’t Rep. Al Green (D-TX) being escorted out of the House chamber or the long list of Trump absurdities. Nope, it was Trump rubbing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ face in their mutual corruption:
